For the first time in eight years, travelling fans will be able to see the British & Irish Lions in action, marking the return of the legendary 'Sea of Red' - among the biggest and most revered band of fans in world sport.

Three Test matches and seven tour games await Andy Farrell's pride this summer as they set out to etch their names into Lions folklore. Here is our guide to where you can join them.

Optus Stadium, Perth

The Lions begin their tour in Perth, where they will face off against Super Rugby's Western Force at the Optus Stadium.

With a capacity of 61,266, the ground is the third-largest stadium in Australia and mainly sees use in Australian rules football and cricket.

It is currently home to two Australian Football League (AFL) teams - the Fremantle Football Club and the West Coast Eagles - along with Big Bash outfit Perth Scorchers.

The stadium hosted five out of 45 matches in the 2022 men's T20 World Cup and will host the first test of the 2025-2026 men's Ashes.

Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium will be visited twice by Farrell's tourists.

Current stadium tenants Queensland Reds are first in line on 2 July before the Lions return to The Cauldron for the first of their three Tests on 19 July.

The Lions defeated the Wallabies 23-21 at Suncorp Stadium during their 2013 Tour Down Under, later going onto win that year's series.

The 52,500-capacity venue is the historical home of rugby league Down Under and in addition to Reds, houses Brisbane Broncos, Dolphins, Queensland Maroons, as well as Brisbane Roar FC of the A-League Men.

It also hosted matches in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, including the third-place play-off, and will host the rugby sevens and football tournaments at the 2032 Summer Olympics.

Allianz Stadium, Sydney

Not to be mistaken for its famous namesake in Twickenham, Sydney's Allianz Stadium will welcome The Lions for their bout with the New South Wales Waratahs on 5 July.

The 42,500-capacity ground was built as a replacement for the original Sydney Football Stadium and opened in 2022.

The original venue was the site of The Lions' solitary loss during their 1989 Tour of Australia, where Ian McGeechan's tourists were felled 30-12 by the Wallabies.

In addition to the Waratahs, the ground is home to National Rugby League outfit Sydney Roosters and Sydney FC of the A-League Men.

GIO Stadium, Canberra

Canberra's GIO Stadium is the smallest venue to host to The Lions this summer, with a capacity of 25,000.

Andy Farrell's tourists will face off against Super Rugby's ACT Brumbies on 9 July in the Australian capital as they bid to exact revenge.

In 2013, The Lions' sole loss aside from the second Test was a 14-12 defeat to Brumbies in Canberra.

The stadium was the site of four group matches at the 2003 World Cup, which England won, and also hosted football matches during the 2000 Summer Olympic Games.

It was also used during the 2008 and 2017 Rugby League World Cups.

Adelaide Oval, Adelaide

The Adelaide Oval will see The Lions battle a combined rugby union team representing Australia and New Zealand (ANZAC) for the first time since 1989.

That game will take place at the 52,500-capacity venue on 12 July, a week before Maro Itoje and co begin their Test series against the Wallabies in Brisbane.

A multi-purpose venue, the Adelaide Oval is used for cricket, Australian rules football, rugby league, rugby union, football and tennis.

It hosted two games at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, a semi-final at the 202 ICC Men's T20 World Cup and is the current home of A-League side Adelaide United.

Marvel Stadium, Melbourne

Melbourne's Marvel Stadium has been an unhappy hunting ground for the Lions since its opening in 2000.

The following year saw Martin Johnson become the first man to lead the Lions to the 56,347-capacity ground, where his side were defeated by the Wallabies 35-14 in their second Test before losing the series.

It was a similar story in 2013 when the Sam Warburton-led tourists were felled 16-15 again in the second Test, though they would ultimately go on to win the decider.

Farrell's side will play at the venue for an historic game against a First Nations & Pasifika XV on 22 July, in between the first and second Tests against the Wallabies.

Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

Melbourne Cricket Ground is steeped in Lions history.

The ground hosted one of the Lions' 19 games during their first-ever Tour of New Zealand and Australia in 1888, where they faced that era's top team Carlton, under the then 'Victorian Rules' (now known as Aussie Rules).

The Lions returned to the ground in 1889 and 1930, both times winning against Victoria, and will make a further appearance when they take on Australia during the penultimate Test on 26 July.

MCG has since swelled considerably, with its capacity of 100,024 making it the biggest stadium in the southern hemisphere.

It was the main stadium for the 1856 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games and has hosted two Cricket World Cup finals (1992 and 2015).

Accor Stadium, Sydney

The Lions close out their 2025 Tour Down Under with their third and final Test against the Wallabies at Accor Stadium on 2 August.

Twelve years ago, the Lions sealed series victory there after running out 41-16 winners at the same ground.

The venue was also used for seven matches in the 2003 Rugby World Cup, including the opener, both semi-finals and the iconic final, won by England against the hosts after Jonny Wilkinson's unforgettable drop goal.
