All Blacks v France

The All Blacks will kick off an epic 2026 Test season against France at Christchurch’s new One New Zealand Stadium in the first of four home fixtures across New Zealand’s three biggest cities.

The season opener will mark the All Blacks first Test at a large, permanent stadium in the Canterbury region since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake saw the end of the Lancaster Park era. It will also be the first Test of the new 12-team Nations Championship.

New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson said the first Test of the year would be a significant moment for rugby.

“For the All Blacks to play at the new One New Zealand stadium 15 years after the earthquakes will be a special moment for the team and a significant occasion for rugby at the start of a new era for the international game".
