What TV channel is the autumn internationals rugby on and can I live stream it?

THE best of the north face the prime cut from the south in the Autumn Nations Series and there is only one place to watch it in the UK and Ireland.

World champions South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina all head north for some massive test rugby matches against the northern hemisphere’s top sides.

Wales face the All Blacks in the second weekend’s games, while Ireland take on the Springboks and England host the Pumas.

Scotland lost to Australia on the last weekend of October and they face Fiji in their second test.

But these games are not being broadcast on terrestrial TV – as they have been in years gone by.

Here is all you need to know about how to watch the matches – officially called the Autumn Nations Series.

How can I watch autumn internationals rugby?

The Autumn Nations Series is being aired exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

The streaming giant has a whole host of movies and TV shows in November, as well as certain weeks where it broadcasts Premier League football matches in October and December.

And, as in 2020 and 2021, the autumn matches will be broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.

Hosts such as Gabby Logan and Nick Mullins, as well as commentator Andrew Cotter will deliver the experience for rugby fans.
