Rugby fans in London, get ready for an unforgettable summer as the British & Irish Lions Tour 2025 comes roaring to SPORT London venues. The festivities kick off on Friday, June 20th, with an epic opening night at Greenwood, Victoria, featuring none other than rugby legend Neil Back.

Widely celebrated as one of England’s most iconic players, the three-time Lions tourist and 2003 World Cup winner will host a special pre-match Q&A at 7 PM. Fans will have the rare opportunity to hear exclusive insights and stories from Back himself before cheering on the Lions as they take on Argentina at 8 PM. Plus, there’s more – lucky attendees might even snag a photo or meet the rugby great in person.

SPORT London venues are transforming into the city’s ultimate fan hubs for the Lions Tour, offering rugby enthusiasts unrivaled match experiences.
