Wallabies All Blacks Bledisloe Cup 2026 fixtures & draw

Fixtures for the 2026 Bledisloe Cup series between the Wallabies vs All Blacks are yet to be confirmed. It was reported in late February that the series would be reduced from three matches to two for at least the next four years.

This page will be updated once the fixtures are officially released. However, with the Wallabies already locked in for a two-Test series against Argentina in August, it is expected that the 2026 Bledisloe Cup will be scheduled after those matches.

Bledisloe Cup 2026 Fixtures

The 2026 Bledisloe Cup is set to return as a three-Test series, with the Wallabies hosting two matches as they aim to reclaim the trophy from the All Blacks.

However, confusion remains around the final schedule. A graphic circulating at the bottom of the release also listed four Bledisloe Cup Test dates between the All Blacks and Wallabies — October 10 and 17, and November— raising questions about whether an expanded series is being considered.

At this stage, the three-Test format is the confirmed structure, and no official confirmation has been made regarding a four-match schedule. Further clarification from Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby is expected to finalize the exact number of Tests and venues.

Wallabies fixtures 2026: Full Australian rugby union Test draw

The Wallabies’ 2026 international schedule is expected to be structured across three main windows: the mid-year Test window, the Bledisloe Cup series, and the end-of-year Spring Tour.

Unlike previous seasons, the traditional Rugby Championship will not be held in 2026, due to World Rugby’s revised global calendar and the introduction of the Nations Championship. As a result, the Bledisloe Cup will be staged outside of the Rugby Championship framework, giving the trans-Tasman rivalry a standalone spotlight later in the year.

During the mid-year Tests, Australia are already confirmed to host a two-Test series against Argentina, expected to take place in July or August. These matches will serve as key preparation before attention turns to the Bledisloe Cup.
