How to watch Fiji v Scotland: TV channel, live stream, kick off time and ticket info for Murrayfield clash
Gregor Townsend’s side take on the Flying Fijians in their third Nations Championship match after last weekend’s defeat to South Africa.
The first part of Scotland’s inaugural Nations Championship campaign comes to an end this weekend when they face Fiji at Murrayfield.
Gregor Townsend’s side are back in Edinburgh after beating Argentina in Cordoba and losing to South Africa in Pretoria, picking up six points in total along the way. Saturday’s match will be a celebration of the Pacific Island nations who are classed as the ‘home’ team due to being unable to host fixtures in Suva at this time.
The Scots will be hoping to end the Summer block of fixtures on a high before the competition resumes in the Autumn. Here is everything supporters hoping to watch the action need to know including kick off time, what TV channel it will be shown on, where a live stream can be found and if tickets are still available:
Fiji v Scotland - date, kick off time and why Nations Championship match is being played at Murrayfield#
Fiji vs Scotland will be played at Murayfield Stadium on Saturday, July 18. The game is scheduled to kick off at 2:10pm.
The Flying Fijians are playing all three of their designated ‘home’ matches in this competition due to a combination of stadium, financial and logistical reasons. Their own national stadium in Suva doesn't meet the tournament requirements for capacity, holding a little over 15,000 spectators and the Nations Championship requires venues to have a minimum capacity of 25,000.

ITV have the broadcast rights for the Nations Championship and are showing all of the fixtures across their channels, including Fiji vs Scotland. The match at Murrayfield will be on ITV1 and STV with build-up starting from 1:10pm, either side of Australia v Italy and South Africa v Wales.
