S4C will show every Wales senior men’s match in the Autumn Nations Series for the next two years.
The games will be available on television, as well as on S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer.
Fiji will be Wales’ first opponents on 10 November, before they host Australia on Sunday 17 November. The final match for Warren Gatland’s team will be against the 2023 Rugby World Cup Champions, South Africa, on Saturday 23 November.
All three matches in the Autumn Nations Series will be played at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
