The British & Irish Lions will tour Australia in 2025 and play the Wallabies at Accor Stadium on Saturday 2 August – a potential Tour decider at Sydney Olympic Park in front of 80,000-plus fans.

The past two Lions Tours have generated huge international interest and both came down to a series finale at Accor Stadium.

The Lions, led by the world’s most-capped rugby player Alun Wyn Jones, won the 2013 series 1-2 after the great John Eales had led Australia to an unforgettable 2-1 series win here in 2001.
