- The Second Test is scheduled at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday with kick-off times published for major time zones and the Springboks needing a win to avoid falling further behind in the series.

- The tour combines Tests with midweek franchise and warm-up matches to manage player workload, and later fixtures include a commercially placed fourth Test in Baltimore designed to grow the sport's global audience.
