With unprecedented demand for tickets during the first General Public on-sale, the second release of tickets for a number of matches isn't expected to last long.

The British & Irish Lions Tour is the largest and most prestigious Rugby Tour in the world.

The Lions will play nine matches over six weeks, with an anticipated 40,000 international visitors to visit Australian shores, delivering strong economic outcomes for all the participating cities, states, and territories

The tour will consist of the Lions playing three Tests against the Wallabies, and six Tour games around the country - including a match against a combined AU & NZ XV in Adelaide.

The Lions Tour will be the first of the major Rugby events to visit Australia as part of the sport’s ‘golden decade’, with the tour to be followed by the 2027 Rugby World Cup for men, the 2029 Rugby World Cup for women, and Rugby Sevens at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, all hosted in Australia.

The first Test between the Wallabies and the Lions will be hosted at Suncorp Stadium on July 19, before the two sides travel to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for the second Test on July 26. The third, and potentially series deciding Test will be held at Sydney's Accor Stadium on August 2.

Ahead of the three Test series against the Wallabies, the Lions Tour kicks off in Perth on June 28 against the Western Force at Optus Stadium before the squad will cross the country to take on the Queensland Reds on July 2 in the first of two Lions matches being played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

The tourists will then head to Sydney for a match against the NSW Waratahs at Allianz Stadium on July 5 before heading south to Canberra to take on the ACT Brumbies at GIO Stadium on July 9.

The famous Adelaide Oval will host the penultimate Tour match on July 12, which will see the Lions play an invitational side comprised of players from Australia and New Zealand – the first of its kind since 1989.

Marvel Stadium in Melbourne will then host the final Tour match on July 22 when the Lions are scheduled for a midweek match against an opponent to be confirmed at a future date. 

The British & Irish Lions combine the best players from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, touring either Australia, New Zealand or South Africa on rotation every four years, meaning the Lions only visit Australia every 12 years.

Official hospitality and travel packages for the Qatar Airways Lions Men's Series are available here.
