The Twickenham faithful really need a win. Can England deliver?
Watch England v Australia as Steve Borthwick’s men try to bring that winning feeling back to Twickenham in the Nations Championship.
2026 has been something of an annus horribilis for England so far, with their worst ever Six Nations campaign followed by defeat to South Africa. They will hope to pick up where they left off, however, with wins against Fiji and Argentina.
Australia, meanwhile, are a team on the rise. Yes, they (once again) lost their two Bledisloe Cup matches against New Zealand, but recent wins over the Springboks and Pumas suggest they are on a good track under new boss Les Kiss.
The match kicks off at 15.10 GMT at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. Lucky fans in the UK, Ireland, France and the US can watch England v Australia for free, but you can still tune in if you’re traveling abroad this weekend. Read on to find out how you can use a VPN to watch the action wherever you are in the world.
