List of 2025 Super Rugby Pacific matches
This article contains a list of all matches played during the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific regular season. The draw for the thirtieth season of Super Rugby was announced on 30 September 2024.[1] A few weeks earlier, it was revealed that in 2025 the regular season would be extended to sixteen rounds during which each team would play fourteen games and have two byes. It was also announced that the 2025 season would feature "family-friendly" afternoon fixtures (including three Sunday afternoon games) and would start one week earlier than previous seasons, on Friday 14 February 2025, to fit in the extra week of round-robin games.[2] The 2025 season will again feature "Culture Round", "Kids Round" (having been first introduced last season), and "Anzac Round".[3] The 2025 season was revealed to have dropped the "Super Round" (a round during the season that is hosted by one venue, modeled off the National Rugby League's Magic Round), which had been played each season since the inaugural Super Rugby Pacific season in 2022. It is expected to return for 2026.[4][5][6]
