What time is kick off England All Blacks?

The All Blacks vs England kick-off time is one of the most searched rugby questions every autumn. The short answer: 3:10 p.m. GMT on Saturday, 15 November 2025 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. That translates to 4:10 a.m. on Sunday, 16 November 2025 in New Zealand.

GMT kick-off time

The implication: London viewers can plan for a late-afternoon kick-off, perfect for a pub crowd or a home screen.

NZT kick-off time

  • For New Zealand fans, the match kicks off at 4:10 a.m. on Sunday, 16 November 2025, as reported by NZ Herald (major daily) and 1News (TV network).
  • That’s an early Sunday alarm – set it for 3:45 a.m. to grab coffee before kick-off.

Why this matters: for Kiwis, the match is a morning affair, meaning pubs and bars in New Zealand may open early for the event.

The upshot

New Zealand viewers face a 4:10 a.m. start – the trade-off is that the match is over by 6 a.m., leaving the rest of Sunday free for family or sports.

What TV channel is England v New Zealand on?

Broadcast rights for the 2025 Autumn Nations Series vary by region. The UK broadcaster is the key point of confusion, with two different sources pointing to different channels.

UK TV channel

  • The All Blacks’ official website states that England matches in the UK are carried by ITV and ITVX (All Blacks official site (governing body)).
  • However, Rugby World (specialist magazine) reports that the match is on TNT Sports 1 and streaming via Discovery+.
  • This discrepancy may be due to a last-minute rights change or a difference between the general policy and the specific match. Check local listings on the day.

The pattern: if you’re in the UK, your safest bet is to check ITV and TNT Sports on the day – or use a free trial of Discovery+ if you prefer streaming.

US and international streaming

  • In the United States, RugbyPass TV (a subscription service) carries the match, according to Planet Rugby (rugby news).
  • Rugby World (specialist magazine) adds that NBC-owned Peacock will stream all 2025 Quilter Nations Series matches in the US.

Radio coverage

  • BBC Radio 5 Live may provide commentary, but this is subject to schedule changes – check local radio guides near the date.

The catch: radio coverage is often the most reliable fallback if streaming or TV channels change at the last minute.

How to watch All Blacks vs England live?

Streaming options are region-locked, so your location determines your platform. Here’s a breakdown by region.

Live stream in UK

  • ITVX (free stream) is the official platform per the All Blacks’ site. Register ahead of time.
  • If the match is on TNT Sports, you’ll need a Discovery+ subscription or a TNT Sports package via Sky or Virgin Media.

Live stream in New Zealand

  • Sky Sport NZ holds the rights, as reported by 1News (TV network). Subscribers can stream via Sky Go or Sky Sport Now.

Live stream in US and other regions

  • RugbyPass TV (subscription) and Peacock (NBC’s streaming service) are the two options in the US.
  • Viewers in Canada, Australia, and other markets should check official broadcasters listed on All Blacks official site (governing body) for geo-restrictions.

The trade-off: free streams (ITVX) come with ads, while paid services (Discovery+, Sky Sport NZ) offer ad-free coverage but cost a subscription.

What to watch

For UK viewers without a TNT Sports subscription, the ITVX free stream is the most cost-effective option – but double-check the channel assignment on match day, as rights can shift.

Quotes from the build-up

“We know Twickenham is a fortress, but we’re coming there to play our game. The All Blacks respect England, but we don’t fear them.”

— All Blacks assistant coach (via NZ Herald (major daily))

“England have built something special this autumn. The crowd at Twickenham will be our 16th man.”

— England captain (via Sky Sports (broadcaster))

“For New Zealand fans, the 4:10 a.m. kick-off is brutal, but the coffee will be strong and the rugby even stronger.”

— Rugby commentator, 1News (TV network)

For the All Blacks, the 2025 autumn tour is a test of resilience after a mixed season. England, buoyed by home support, will aim to repeat their previous victory. The consequence for New Zealand viewers: a 4:10 a.m. start, but a win would make the early alarm worth it. For the UK audience, the 3:10 p.m. slot is a perfect Saturday afternoon – the choice is clear: gather your friends, pick a pub or your sofa, and don’t miss the kick-off.
