Frequently asked questions

What pub is showing the rugby in Christchurch?
9 venues in Christchurch have public evidence of showing rugby: the venue's own post or website, a club or fan-group listing, a Google review, or local coverage. Every listing on this page shows its evidence: a linked post or page from the venue, a club or local coverage, or a quoted Google review. Check the venue's current listing for the specific game or event you want to watch.
Where can I watch the big rugby matches in Christchurch?
The sections on this page split them by what the evidence says: 3 have evidence of showing rugby regularly; 6 have evidence of a specific screening. Check with the venue for sound, opening hours and booking requirements.
When are the next Rugby matches?
Next up: Rugby League World Cup: Third-place playoff (wheelchair) on Fri 13 Nov 2026, 06:15 UTC; Rugby League World Cup: Final (wheelchair) on Fri 13 Nov 2026, 08:45 UTC; Nations Championship: Italy vs Argentina on Sat 14 Nov 2026, 11:40 UTC. Some venues follow one code and some show both, so the sections below separate the club and fan-group locals from the pubs that simply have it on every week.
How is this Rugby list for Christchurch put together?
It is built from public evidence only: a venue's own posts and website, club and fan-group listings, Google reviews, and local press. We keep hospitality venues only, drop anything we cannot source, and refresh the Christchurch list as new evidence appears.
