Wales v South Africa was played at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Saturday, November 29, 2025, so there is no live stream now. South Africa won 73–0. You can watch the official NBC Sports highlights or check the Quilter Nations Series highlights page. At the time, viewers in the UK had reported free options through S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer; availability was territory-specific.
Where to watch Wales v South Africa now
The match is over, and a current full-match replay has not been confirmed. The reliable on-demand options identified are highlights: NBC Sports’ South Africa 73–0 Wales highlights and the official Quilter Nations Series site. A broadcaster may remove catch-up content after its rights window, so check its own service rather than relying on an old live-stream link.
Where it was available live in the UK
Free options: S4C and BBC iPlayer
Contemporary coverage reported that the match was available free in the UK on S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer. S4C also offered free-to-air television coverage. These were UK viewing routes, not worldwide streams; access can depend on location and the platform’s requirements. The Rugby World match guide also reported that viewers could pair S4C’s video with BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra for English-language audio. That was an audio option, not a separate video stream.
Paid option: TNT Sports and discovery+
TNT Sports carried the series in the UK and Ireland, with coverage also available through discovery+ subject to the relevant territory and subscription package. Wales’ fixture was additionally listed on S4C. Because free S4C and BBC options were reported for this match in the UK, a TNT Sports subscription was not the only way to watch it live. Current plans and prices can change; check the provider’s sports entitlements before subscribing. See the official series broadcaster list.
#1 Best Overall
- Gilbert A-XV rugby ball
United States: NBC and Peacock
NBC was the US rights holder listed for the series, and NBC Sports’ schedule placed Wales v South Africa on Peacock at 11:10 a.m. ET on November 29, 2025. That corresponds to 8:10 a.m. PT, converted from the 3:10 p.m. GMT kickoff. The schedule establishes Peacock as the streaming destination, not that it was free; no verified free legal US video stream was identified. The NBC Sports schedule announcement and competition rights list identify the US coverage.
South Africa and other territories
The official rights list named SuperSport as the South African broadcaster. It also listed TV5MONDE in South Africa, but the listing does not establish whether TV5MONDE carried this particular match live or offered it on demand. Do not assume that a general series listing guarantees match-specific coverage.
Rank #2
- 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.
For other countries, the official rights list is the best starting point, but confirm the individual fixture and whether the service offers live coverage, replay or highlights.

How to choose a legal stream
- Use the rights-holder or broadcaster for your country, and confirm it lists this specific fixture or replay.
- Distinguish free-to-air television and free online access from subscription streaming; “free” in one country does not mean free worldwide.
- Avoid unofficial stream aggregators, pirate IPTV services and social-media pages that claim to show the match without a recognized broadcaster relationship.
- A VPN does not create a legal entitlement to another country’s stream and may conflict with a platform’s terms.
