How to watch Lions vs Australia - TV channel, live stream and UK kick-off time
@Source: manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The British and Irish Lions are set to take on Australia in the first Test of the iconic touring series on Saturday in Brisbane. Andy Farrell's team began their 2025 campaign with a defeat against Argentina in Dublin, but have since made an impressive comeback, winning every game in Australia thus far. While victories over Super Rugby clubs and an invitational team will have boosted their morale, the Wallabies are expected to pose a much tougher challenge in the Test match arena. Following a steady stream of midweek and weekend matches, the Lions have had a full week to prepare for their opening clash with the Wallabies. Joe Schmidt has made the bold decision to give Tom Lynagh his first start for Australia at fly-half, a move that has been making headlines Down Under. Lynagh follows in the footsteps of his father, Michael, who faced the Lions back in 1989. Here's everything you need to know about the match. Australia v the Lions will kick off at 11am UK time at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The Australia versus Lions match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action. The coverage is set to commence at 10am. This allows fans to stream the game live using the Sky Go App, accessible on desktop computers, gaming consoles, and mobile devices. Australia's line-up includes: Tom Wright, Max Jorgensen, Joseph Sua'ali'i, Len Ikitau, Harry Potter, Tom Lynagh, Jake Gordon, James Slipper, Matt Faessler, Allan Ala'alatoa, Nick Frost, Jeremy Williams, Nick Champion de Crespigny, Fraser McReight, Harry Wilson (c).
