Your Comprehensive Guide to Watching the Australia vs Argentina Rugby Championship 2025 Match: Free Live Stream & Schedule
Rugby fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the decisive clash between Australia and Argentina in the 2025 Rugby Championship. This exciting match is scheduled for Saturday, September 13, at 12 AM ET, 5 AM BST, and 2 PM AEST. The importance of this match goes beyond just winning the championship title, as both teams are vying for the sixth position in the World Rugby Rankings. This ranking is crucial, as the draw for the 2027 Rugby World Cup, scheduled for December 2025, will determine team seedings based on the world rankings at the end of November 2025. Achieving a higher ranking ensures a strategic position in the draw, which may help avoid facing stronger teams in the early pool stages of the expanded 24-team tournament in Australia.

Argentina is currently trailing Australia by 2.56 points in the rankings. This gap widened after being a closer 1.45 points before the last round, specifically in the September 6, 2025 match, which saw Australia win 28-24 in an exciting game following a strong comeback. Australia's coach, Joe Schmidt, made bold decisions, most notably giving Taniela Edmed his first international start at fly-half, while retaining James O'Connor, the comeback architect from the previous match, as an important replacement. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii also stands out as one of the tournament's prominent try-scorers so far. In contrast, Argentina, who are last in the standings before Round 4 but tied on points with South Africa, are looking to improve their position. Coach Felipe Contepomi made a tactical change, fielding Joaquin Oviedo instead of Pablo Matera at number eight.
