Watch England v Australia as Steve Borthwick’s men look to bring that winning feeling back to Twickenham in the Nations Championship.

2026 has been something of an annus horribilis so far for England, with a worst-ever Six Nations campaign followed up by defeat to South Africa. They’ll be hoping to pick up where they left off, however, with victories against Fiji and Argentina.

Australia, meanwhile, are a team on the up. Yes, they (yet again) lost their two Bledisloe Cup matches against New Zealand, but recent victories over the Springboks and the Pumas suggest they’re on the right trajectory under new boss Les Kiss.

The match gets underway at 3.10pm 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 travelling overseas this weekend. Read on to find out how you can use a VPN to watch the action wherever you are in the world.
