With a capacity of 55\,000\, the stadium features a distinctive “African bowl” design and a transparent roof. Unlike the high-altitude cauldron of Ellis Park\, Cape Town offers a coastal climate where the ball travels differently\, often leading to fast-paced\, tactical encounters. The stadium is famous for its “Fan Walk” which connects the city center directly to the stadium gates. \n\n\n\n\nCape Town Stadium (Cape Town)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🎟️ How do I get tickets for the the Second Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour 2026?\n\n\n\nTickets for the Cape Town Test are expected to be the fastest-selling of the entire tour. \n\n\n\n\nPriority Access: Register at greatest-rivalry.com for early access notifications.\n\n\n\nPre-sale Window: Opens 29 January 2026 at 10:00 AM SAST / 9:00 PM NZDT.

SUMMARY:Springboks v All Blacks 3rd Test - Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:The legendary rivalry between the Springboks and the All Blacks reaches a historic milestone in 2026 with the return of the full touring format. After high-octane clashes at Ellis Park and Cape Town\, the tour arrives at the “Calabash”—the massive FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. This venue\, which hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final\, will serve as the stage for the crucial Third Test in what is effectively a “home” double-header for the Gauteng province. \n \nThis guide provides essential information for fans planning to attend the Third Test on September 5\, 2026\, including venue details\, ticketing\, and travel/accommodation tips for the Nasrec precinct. \n \n\n \n \n\n \n📅 When is the Third Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour 2026?\n \nThe Third Test between South Africa and New Zealand is scheduled for: \n \n\nDate: Saturday\, September 5\, 2026\n \nSpecial Double-Header: The day kicks off with a Women’s Test match: Springbok Women vs Black Ferns.\n \nKick-off: 17:00 SAST for the Men’s Test\n\n \n\n \n📍 Where is the Third Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour 2026?\n \nThe match will be held at the largest stadium in Africa: \n \n\nVenue: FNB Stadium (Soccer City)\n \nLocation: Nasrec\, Johannesburg South\, Gauteng\, South Africa\n\n \n🏟️ About FNB Stadium\n \nAffectionately known as “The Calabash” due to its design inspired by traditional African pottery\, FNB Stadium has a staggering capacity of approximately 94\,700. While Ellis Park is the “spiritual home” of rugby\, FNB Stadium is the home of South African sporting spectacle. The sheer scale of the crowd creates a wall of sound that is unlike any other venue in world rugby. \n \n\n\nFNB Stadium/Soccer City (Johannesburg) \n\n\n\n \n\n \n🎟️ How do I get tickets for the Third Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour 2026?\n \nTickets for FNB Stadium are released simultaneously with the rest of the tour. \n \n\nPriority Access: Register at greatest-rivalry.com for first access.\n \nPre-sale Window: Opens 29 January 2026 at 10:00 AM SAST / 9:00 PM NZDT.\n \nGeneral Sale: Opens 2 February 2026 at 10:00 AM SAST / 9:00 PM NZDT.\n \nOfficial Vendor: Tickets are managed by Ticketmaster South Africa.\n \nMatch Bundles: Look for “Jo’burg Bundles” that cover both the Ellis Park and FNB Stadium Tests.\n \nOfficial Travel Packages: SA Rugby Travel offers specific “3rd Test” packages for residents and international visitors\, often including flights from Cape Town or Durban.\n\n \n\n \n✈️ How do I travel to FNB Stadium?\n \nFNB Stadium is located in the Nasrec precinct\, south of the Johannesburg CBD.

Secure parking is available but must be pre-booked via the stadium management site.\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n🏨 Where to Stay near FNB Stadium?\n \nMost fans still prefer the northern suburbs for safety and nightlife\, but there are excellent options closer to the venue for this Test. \n \n\nSandton / Rosebank: Remains the best choice for international fans due to the Gautrain and high-end hotel clusters (The Davinci\, Sandton Sun).\n \nGold Reef City: Located just 2km from the stadium. The Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel and Gold Reef City Hotel offer a festive\, secure environment and are within walking distance of the Apartheid Museum.\n \nMelrose Arch: A premium\, walkable precinct that will be buzzing with rugby fans during the tour.\n \nJohannesburg South: Hotels like Road Lodge Southgate or Ecotel Southgate are convenient but offer fewer dining and entertainment options compared to the North.\n\n \nBooking Tips: \n \n\nAirport Shuttles: Ensure your hotel offers a 24-hour airport shuttle if you are flying in just for the weekend.\n \nSecurity: FNB Stadium is near Soweto; while the area is vibrant\, stay in established hotels and use official transport rather than walking through unfamiliar areas at night.\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n🔗 Helpful Links for Your Trip\n \n\nSA Rugby Official Website\n \nStadium Management South Africa\n \nRea Vaya Bus Services\n \nPark and Ride SA\n\n \nExperience the roar of nearly 100\,000 fans as the Boks and All Blacks settle the score! 🇿🇦🇳🇿
