British and Irish Lions vs Lions Rugby is all set and ready for the kick-off on 3pm BST. The Lions will be using the match as a builder for their three tests against world champions South Africa this summer, while Lions will have another international fixture under their belt.
And for the Irish and Scottish players in the mix this weekend Lions head coach Warren Gatland has said this is their perfect opportunity to get their revenge on Lions.
Let’s check out all official channel lists to watch British and Irish Lions vs Lions online live streaming below.
The great news for rugby fans in the UK and Ireland is that this match is set to be the first Lions game to broadcast on terrestrial TV in 30 years, with the Lions against Lions being shown absolutely FREE on Channel 4.
While viewers in Ireland can also tune into Channel 4’s coverage of the match via Sky or cable, free-to-air domestic broadcaster Virgin Media Two will also be showing the game live, with coverage starting on the channel a little earlier at 2pm.

NBC Sports has the exclusive rights to show the British & Irish Lions Tour 2021 in the USA. The network will stream all the action live on its Peacock TV streaming platform. Subscription costs $4.99 a month (or $9.99 commercial-free). That’s a bargain when you compare it to the price that UK fans pay. Better yet, new users get a 7-day free trial.
Remember, you’ll need to use a VPN to access Peacock if you’re away from the US during the Lions tour.

All eight matches of the upcoming 20201 British & Irish Lions Tour will be played in either Gauteng or Cape Town to minimize the risk of any disruption caused by the pandemic. So, fingers crossed for a series of epic, covid-free clashes.
The Lions lost the Test series 2-1 back in 2009, but following a series draw against New Zealand in 2017, Warren Gatland’s men will have high hopes of repeating their 1997 victory, when big beasts like Martin Johnson, Lawrence Dallaglio, and Gregor Townsend endured a brutal tour.
