South African, New Zealand, Australian and Argentina Rugby (SANZAAR) and Sky Sports have agreed a new contract covering international rugby media rights from 2026 to 2030. The arrangement extends a partnership that has lasted for more than three decades. Under the deal, New Zealand’s tour of South Africa is set to be shown live on Sky Sports, according to reporting from Sky Sports and Sky News. The coverage forms part of broader rights arrangements associated with SANZAAR’s competitions across the participating countries. The sources describe the agreement as a continuation of the long-running relationship between the sport’s governing and commercial rights holder(s) and Sky’s sports broadcasting operation. Specific details beyond the live airing of the New Zealand tour and the overall 2026-2030 time frame are not provided in the excerpts reviewed. The agreement signals continuity for viewers and broadcasters ahead of future international rugby scheduling within the SANZAAR framework.
