Pubs will be able to screen the Autumn Nations Series of rugby matches in HD after Prime Video teamed up with Sky Business to broadcast them.

Beginning on Saturday 29 October and running until 26 November, licensed premises will be able to stream 21 live games as countries from the southern hemisphere visit the UK, Ireland, France and Italy.

Coverage starts with Scotland hosting Australia with a 5.30pm kick off, culminating with Wales v Australia and England v South Africa on the weekend of 26 November.

The Autumn Nations Series will be available for licensed premises to screen exclusively on two dedicated HD channels available via the Sky Programming Guide. This will be the first time Prime Video will be broadcasting Ireland’s matches in the Autumn Nations Series in the UK.

Sky Business customers with an HD-capable set top box can order the Autumn Nations Series by visiting Sky’s website while non-Sky customers with a Sky HD-capable set top box and active Sky viewing card can also choose to show these matches.
