How to watch France vs Fiji: FREE live streams, TV channels and kick-off time for Nations Championship 2026 game

Watch France vs Fiji live streams as Les Bleus, top of the Northern Hemisphere table at the halfway stage, host the winless Pacific Islanders in Lyon in Round 4 of the Nations Championship 2026.

Fabien Galthié's Bleus have two wins and one loss thus far in the tournament. Heavy July victories over Australia and Japan proceeded a 34-32 in a narrow defeat by New Zealand that confirmed the French as the Northern Hemisphere's dominant side. Galthié, though, has injury problems for the November internationals against Fiji, South Africa and Argentina, with Thomas Ramos, Fabien Brau-Boirie, Emmanuel Meafou, Thibaud Flament and Matthieu Jalibert all confirmed absentees. Antoine Dupont is back as captain, relegating Maxime Lucu to the bench despite the scrum half deputizing brilliantly earlier in the tournament. Louis Bielle-Biarrey starts.

Fiji have lost all three games thus far, to Wales, England and Scotland, albeit playing technical 'home' games in each of their opponents' countries didn't help matters. South Africa's 2007 World Cup-winning coach Jake White began his spell in charge with a 34-28 victory over Japan late last month. Jiuta Wainiqolo, ​Selestino Ravutaumada and Salesi Rayasi represent a talented back three but it's in the forwards that the Flying Fijians will have their work cut out, with former England number eight Nathan Hughes brought in to provide some international experience after switching nationality.
