The Lions have confirmed that final the fixture for the touring team who will play an historic game against a First Nations & Pasifika XV at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Tuesday, July 22.

The latest addition to the 2025 Tour represents the very first time a First Nations & Pasifika team has been assembled, this fixture replaces that of the Melbourne Rebels who were set to face the tourists before going bust.

It will take place in between Test One and Two with the Lions also set to tackle an Ian Foster-coached AUNZ Invitational XV as their final tour match before the Test Series.

Farrell’s men will also play all four Super Rugby Pacific clubs throughout with the opening Test between the Wallabies and the Lions at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium takes place on July 19, where the initial ticket allocation was sold in just 60 minutes last year.

Melbourne’s MCG will host the second Test where supporters will have the opportunity to be part of the largest-ever crowd for a Lions Test, with the iconic venue capable of hosting more than 100,000 spectators, which would surpass the current Lions Test record attendance of 84,188 at Accor Stadium in 2001.

Sydney’s Accor Stadium is set to be the setting for another potential decider between the two sides, with both previous Series going down to the wire, with the Wallabies winning 2-1 in 2001, before the Lions squared the ledger in 2013.
