Canada v England WXV Global Series rugby 2026 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream

England and Canada resume hostilities in Toronto as the second half of the inaugural WXV Global Series season starts.

The latest chapter in their growing rivalry is set to be written over the next fortnight, with the Red Roses due to take on their hosts twice to kick off their North American tour.

John Mitchell's side beat Canada in the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 final but saw their long winning streak ended by them in a dramatic draw last month.

England got back to winning ways with a last-ditch victory over New Zealand at Twickenham to cap off their home series and will be determined to carry that momentum with them on the road.

With two of the best teams in the world set to do battle, this is a game worth staying up for – and UK fans can tune in for free coverage.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Canada v England on TV and online.
