This match is over. New Zealand defeated Australia 33–24 at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday, September 27, 2025, in a Bledisloe Cup fixture within the Rugby Championship. There is no live stream to watch now, but legal replay and highlights options may still be available.

For Australian viewers, the original free legal stream was 9Now, with the match also shown on Nine. Full Rugby Championship coverage was available through paid service Stan Sport.

Quick answer by country

Location Original broadcaster or service Current guidance
Australia Nine and free 9Now stream Search 9Now’s sports archive; check Stan Sport for a possible full replay.
New Zealand Sky Sport and Sky Sport Now Search the Sky archive for the fixture.
United Kingdom and Ireland Sky Sports/NOW Check whether the historical replay remains available.
South Africa SuperSport Check local archive availability.
United States Specific rights were not confirmed by the available sources Use the official match page and legitimate local listings.

Rights and replay catalogues can change. A service that carried the match live in 2025 may no longer offer the full recording.

How Australians watched for free

Rugby Australia’s official viewing guide identified Nine and 9Now as the free options for Wallabies home matches and matches against New Zealand. That made the Australia–New Zealand fixture available free to Australian viewers through:

#1 Best Overall
  • Nine Network: the free-to-air television option where available.
  • 9Now: the free legal online stream, subject to Australian location, account, device and catalogue restrictions.

To check 9Now:

  1. Open 9now.com.au.
  2. Sign in or create an account if prompted.
  3. Search for “New Zealand v Australia,” “Bledisloe Cup” or “Rugby Championship 2025.”
  4. Check the sports or on-demand catalogue.

The live listing is historical and may have been removed. “Free” here means free through the Australian broadcaster’s authorized service, not free worldwide.

Stan Sport for a full-match replay in Australia

Stan Sport carried every Rugby Championship match in Australia, with live and on-demand coverage. It is the more suitable option for viewers who wanted the entire competition rather than only the selected Wallabies fixtures available on Nine and 9Now.

  1. Open Stan’s rugby section.
  2. Confirm that the account includes the Stan Sport service or add-on.
  3. Search for “The Rugby Championship 2025” or “New Zealand v Australia.”
  4. Check whether the full replay remains in the archive.

Do not assume the replay is still available: the retrieved Stan listing showed Rugby Championship 2025 replays but did not clearly guarantee this particular fixture’s continued availability.

World Rugby Shop X Gilbert G-TR4000 Rugby Ball Size 5 - Durable Rugby Equipment - Triangular Surface Grip - 3 Ply Construction - Fluro
  • TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED: A durable rugby practice ball you and your rugby team can trust. Featuring Gilbert's newly patented triangular surface grip pattern, the G-TR4000 represents a major step forward in grip technology on training rugby balls. Tests have shown that this new, more defined pattern is hard wearing and allows the rugby player more surface area contact with the ball when handling.
  • AS TOUGH AS YOU: Thanks to its proprietary hydratec technical fabrics and waterproof laminations, the Gilbert rugby ball handles even the roughest conditions, enhancing the life and performance of the ball. Gilbert knows what it takes to produce top quality youth rugby, and adult rugby balls, that will last multiple seasons of heavy use.
  • PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION: Preparing for a rugby game is serious business. Our size 5 rugby ball, as well as our size 3 and 4 size rugby ball for kids, feature a 3-ply poly-cotton and cotton laminate panels. This means that our balls will weigh slightly more, perform better on longer kicks and passes, and generally hold its shape better than a ball of 2-ply construction.
  • HAND-STITCHED: In addition to our superior triangular grip pattern, and 3 ply poly cotton panels, all Gilbert rugby balls are hand stitched for durability. Pull it out of your rugby bag and trust that It's tough as nails. With over 20 years of experience, Gilbert is a trusted brand, making top-quality training equipment that stands up to the toughest challenges, making it the ultimate rugby game ball.
  • EASY CARE: Prior to training or a match, use a soft cloth, light detergent, and warm water to remove dirt and residue from your rugby ball. All training/practice rugby balls and rugby game balls come deflated. Inflate them to 9.5 psi using a rugby pump, or any ball pump. Gilbert training balls are a great choice for any rugby team or player looking for an uncompromising, high-quality rugby ball.

How New Zealand viewers watched

2025 tournament viewing information identified Sky Sport as the New Zealand rights-holder. Sky Sport Now was the streaming route for viewers who did not use Sky’s traditional television service.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  1. Check Sky Sport’s rugby listings.
  2. Check Sky Sport Now for an on-demand listing.
  3. Search for “New Zealand v Australia,” “Bledisloe Cup” or the September 27, 2025 match.
  4. If no full replay is listed, use an official highlights source.

The available evidence does not establish a free New Zealand livestream for this match. It also does not confirm TVNZ, NZR+, RugbyPass TV or YouTube as the original live broadcaster.

United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and other territories

The historical territory guide listed Sky Sports/NOW for the United Kingdom and Ireland and SuperSport for South Africa and some African markets. These were paid broadcaster routes, and current replay access depends on each service’s archive and territory rules.

Other regions may have had different rights-holders. Check local listings or the official World Rugby match page rather than relying on an old event guide.

What U.S. viewers should know

World Rugby announced a U.S. Paramount+ partnership covering specified World Rugby events through 2029. The announcement lists competitions such as the Rugby World Cups, HSBC SVNS, WXV, the Pacific Nations Cup, the Pacific Four Series and the World Rugby U20 Championship. It does not, by itself, confirm Paramount+ as the U.S. rights-holder for this 2025 Rugby Championship match.

Why unofficial “free streams” are a bad substitute

Search results for old matches often include unlicensed IPTV pages, mirror sites, pop-ups, Telegram links and downloads that request unknown players or browser extensions. They can create malware, privacy, takedown and legal risks, while offering no reliable guarantee that the video is the advertised match.

Use broadcaster-authorized services and official highlights instead. Do not treat a VPN as a way to bypass a broadcaster’s geographic restrictions; 9Now’s free access was intended for its Australian service area.

Also note that Nine’s free 2025 rugby announcements covered particular Wallabies and Wallaroos programming. They do not prove that every Rugby Championship match was free-to-air. For the complete Australian tournament, Stan Sport was the relevant paid service.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
