Super Round 2026: How you can watch the first game tonight for free

It’s a HUGE weekend of footy, with Super Rugby’s Super Round taking over Christchurch’s brand-new One New Zealand Stadium from today through to Sunday.

We’re talking five matches, ten teams, all under one roof for three days - and it all kicks off tonight as the Crusaders take on the NSW Waratahs.

If you were gutted to not make it to this massive weekend of sport, you can now watch tonight's game for free!

Sky Sport Now has scrapped the Day Pass cost for streaming the first match, meaning you can tune in without having to fork out.

Off the field, there’s plenty happening too. The More FM Pop Quiz is going live during the broadcast around 6:50pm - so you can play along from home, and if you reckon you’ve got what it takes, you can try your luck with More FM right here on rova.

And because it wouldn’t be a proper Kiwi event without a bit of live music, Scribe is set to perform the halftime show during tonight’s game - which you can catch on whatever screen your watching from.

If you haven’t used it before, Sky Sport Now lets you stream live sport across all its channels without needing a Sky box. You can watch on your phone, laptop, smart TV, PlayStation, Chromecast - basically wherever suits.

Just a heads up though, the freebie is only for today, April 24. With four more matches across the weekend, you’ll need to fork out the usual $29.99 per day if you want to keep watching.
