2023 Super Rugby Pacific draw and fixtures
The Super Rugby season is expected to run from 24 February, with the final to be played on 18 June, culminating before the start of the 2023 mid-year international window.
Super Rugby Pacific replaced the Trans-Tasman, Super Rugby Australia and Super Rugby Aotearoa competitions which were brought in during COVID-affected seasons, heading into the 2022 season.
The new competition is a 12-team tournament, with Moana Pasifika and Fijian Drua added in place of South Africa and Argentina teams from the old Super Rugby format.
The teams will play 14 regular season matches made up of 11 round-robin matches and three derby/rivalry matches across 15 rounds, with each team afforded one bye.
The season’s 91 matches will be played across 18 weeks, which includes the three weeks of the playoff series.
All Super Rugby draw games in 2023 are streamed in Australia via Stan Sport, while one Saturday night game a week is broadcast on free to air on Channel 9.
Please note that all times below are in Sydney/Melbourne time, and that “Broadcast” refers to the Australian broadcaster.
