England against the Wallabies is always a seminal test fixture, and recent history suggests the hosts can win.

England beat the Cherry Blossoms 59-14 when the teams last met in November 2024.
England v New Zealand – Saturday 21 November 2026 (kick-off 14:10 GMT)
England close out their Northern Hemisphere Series campaign with a marquee fixture against the mighty All Blacks. This is easily the most in-demand game at Twickenham this autumn, with fans everywhere eager to witness the Haka live and to watch this formidable New Zealand outfit up close. The final England vs New Zealand Nations Championship tickets are likely to move fast, so book now to avoid missing out.
When the dust settles on the Northern Hemisphere Series and the ultimate positions in the tables are decided, we move onto Finals Weekend, which also takes place entirely at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham between Friday 27th and Sunday 29th of November. Two matches are played at the stadium each day, before the Grand Final serves as the climax.
Getting to Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Matchday
The Allianz Stadium is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in southwest London, and it’s a bustling area at the best of times. That means that it’s extra busy on matchdays. It is very well serviced by public transport, however.
Whatever way you choose to travel, leave yourself ample time to get to and from the busy area. Here are some of the best ways to get to the ground:
By train (recommended)
We always recommend getting the train if you can. You can aim for Twickenham Station, which is just ten minutes from the stadium on foot. You can avail of direct services from London Waterloo, Clapham Junction, Reading, Ascot and Windsor, all of which run frequently.
The station has step-free access and because it sits in Zone 5, Oyster and contactless cards work fine for payments. If Twickenham is too busy for your liking, you could head for Whitton or St. Margarets instead. The walk afterwards will be longer, though they won’t be quite as hectic.
By Tube / Overground
While there are no Underground stations at the stadium, you can get the Tube to Richmond (District line and London Overground) and Hounslow East (Piccadilly line). There is a good chance that shuttle buses will be on hand to take you from those stations to Twickenham Stadium. Many fans travelling from central London go to Waterloo and use other services from there to complete their journey.
By bus
Routes including the 281, 481, 681 and 110 stop within a short walk of the stadium, though expect road closures, diversions and changes to usual routing on matchday. Routes 267, H20, R68 and 490 should also be checked out. It’s always wise to check official transport websites to learn about route changes ahead of time.
By car / parking
We don’t recommend driving due to road closures, heavy congestion and other issues. However, if you are travelling by car, take the J12 exit from the M25. The stadium is near the Whitton Road roundabout. Put the postcode TW2 7BA into Google Maps if needed. Parking is available near the ground, though you’ll need to book your space in advance to gain access.
Practical tips for Allianz Stadium, Twickenham
Twickenham is the second-biggest stadium in the UK with a capacity of 82,000, so naturally, the area around the ground on matchday is going to be extremely busy.
That means that you should leave yourself plenty of wiggle room when travelling there. Whether you’re going to England vs Australia, Japan or New Zealand, the advice is the same. Using public transport and planning ahead will make for a smoother experience.
Aim to start your entry to the stadium at least 60 minutes before kick-off, so you have enough time to clear security, get food/drink and find your seat.
It’s a cashless venue and most tickets are scanned digitally at the gates, so make sure your phone is fully charged before you depart on the day of the game.
After the match, follow the crowds or signage back to stations, but expect delays and remain patient as the crowds move slowly out of the area.
You won’t be allowed to bring big bags inside either. There are drop off services nearby, however, we recommend saving yourself the hassle and avoiding bringing large baggage items altogether.
