Can I watch the Autumn Internationals for free?

While Quilter Nations Series matches will be behind a paywall for most viewers, there are free options out there for specific games:

  • Wales: All four of Wales’ Principality Stadium games in November will be available to watch for free on S4C, S4C Clic and via BBC iPlayer in the UK. They’ll only have Welsh commentary, however, so if you want English voiceover and analysis you’ll need to watch on TNT Sports (see below).
  • Ireland: If you’re based in Ireland, coverage of all of Ireland’s games this autumn – including the side’s Chicago clash with New Zealand – will be available for free across Virgin Media’s TV channels and the Virgin Media Play streaming service.
  • France: Every one of Les Bleus‘ games this autumn will be live and free on TF1 and the TF1+ streaming service in France.

Away from home during the Autumn Internationals? You can use a VPN to watch your usual streaming services while overseas – find out more below.


Watch the Autumn Internationals from anywhere

You don’t need to worry about missing any of the action, even if you’re travelling overseas while matches are taking place. By using a VPN (or Virtual Private Network), you can avoid the geo-blocking restrictions that might otherwise get in the way of watching your usual streamers when you’re in another country.

This is because VPNs have the useful ability to change your IP address, making your laptop, smartphone or tablet appear to be back home. This means you can tune into the big match, even when you’re thousands of miles away from your sitting room. A good VPN will also improve your online security no end.

There are plenty of VPNs out there, but the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide both believe that NordVPN is top of the world rankings, with top-notch streaming and security features, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a great deal this Black Friday…
