List of 2026 Super Rugby Pacific matches

This article contains a list of all scheduled matches to be played during the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific regular season. The draw for the 31st season of Super Rugby was released on 28 August 2025,[1] with several key fixture announcements made in the weeks before. Similar to last season, each team will play fourteen fixtures and have two byes throughout the season.[1] Each team will play a domestic "rival" team twice on a home-and-away basis, with their remaining fixtures being against non-domestic teams.[1] The 2026 season did not include "Culture Round" or "Kids Round"; however, there was a convergence of two significant rugby events, "ANZAC Weekend Round" and "Super Round" (as in 2022), into a single weekend, held at the newly constructed Te Kaha stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand.[2][3][4]

The season formally begins on 13 February 2026 and is set to finish on 30 May 2026 before the start of the 2026 Finals series.[1]
