Super Rugby 2027 fixtures put Crusaders v Reds first and Super Round in Christchurch

Christchurch will be at the centre of Super Rugby Pacific in 2027. The city hosts the first game of the season on Friday 12 February, when the Crusaders take on the Reds, and in April it will host every team in the competition for Super Round.

New Zealand Rugby's draw gives Round 8 to Super Round at One NZ Stadium. All ten sides will play there, with five matches spread over three days from Friday 2 April to Sunday 4 April. The Crusaders play the Brumbies in the first game of the weekend on Friday 2 April, and the Blues play the Waratahs on Saturday 3 April.

The rest of the opening weekend is spread across the competition's map. On Saturday 13 February the Blues host the Hurricanes at Eden Park, the Highlanders start their campaign against the Fijian Drua at Four R Stadium in Ba, Fiji, and the Chiefs go to Perth to face the Force.

The Highlanders host the Force at Rugby Park in Invercargill on Friday 5 March, and the Chiefs play the Hurricanes at Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth on Sunday 28 March. Round 11 has just one match: the Reds against the Blues in Brisbane.

The regular season ends on 5 June. The Hurricanes play their last regular-season game at home to the Blues in Wellington on 4 June, and on the final day the Highlanders host the Crusaders at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Kick-off times in the draw are in New Zealand time, and the fixtures may still change.
