The North Americans will compete against Argentina, Fiji and Spain in the pool. It marks a return to the Men\u2019s Rugby World Cup after Canada failed to qualify for Rugby World Cup 2023 which was hosted by France.<\/p>\n<p>Rugby World Cup 2027 will be a repeat of the 2003 tournament in that it was also hosted by Australia. When compared the 2003 tournament, the 2007 one will feature four additional teams. Expansion from 20 to 24 teams comes front-and-center with Australia hosting the tournament against Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s first match will be against heavy-weight sea contenders, Argentina. The fixture will take-place in Brisbane on Monday, October 04. It will officially be the first-ever time that Canada and Argentina have crossed paths at a Rugby World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadians will travel south from Brisbane to Adelaide for their second match. The travel distance, location and turn-around is a case in point as to Canada having been allocated a satisfactory match perfect. Canada will have six days in between game\u2019e one and two and also between two and three.<\/p>\n<p>The match at the Adelaide Oval will be against familiar Men\u2019s Rugby World Cup opponents, Fiji. Indeed, Canada faced Fiji previously at Rugby World Cups 1991, 1999 and 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s third pool match will be against their lowest ranked opponent, Spain. It will feature further notable travel as the Canadians fly back to the state of Queensland but this time to face Los Leones in Townsville. It will be played on Saturday, October 16.<\/p>\n<p>RUGBY WORLD CUP 2027 \u00a0\u2013 CANADA FIXTURES<\/p>\n<p>MONDAY, OCT 04 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96902 tie-appear\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/logo-argentina-pumas-thumbnail-2023.png\"   alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"\/>VS<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tie-appear alignnone wp-image-31198 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/logo-canada-2018-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"\/> (Brisbane: 18:45 AEST \/ 1:45 PT \/ 4:45 ET)<\/p>\n<p>SATURDAY, OCT 10 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tie-appear alignnone wp-image-90662 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/logo-fiji-thumbnail-2022.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"  \/>VS<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tie-appear alignnone wp-image-31198 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/logo-canada-2018-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"\/>(Adelaide: 12:15 ACDT \/ Oct 9, 18:15 PT \/ 21:15 ET)<\/p>\n<p>SUNDAY, OCT 16 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tie-appear alignnone wp-image-96159 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/logo-spain-thumbnail-2023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"  \/>VS<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tie-appear alignnone wp-image-31198 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/logo-canada-2018-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"\/>(Townsville: 20:15 AEST \/ 3:15 PT \/ 6:15 ET)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-118127 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Imagem-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"  \/>Image; World Rugby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canada has been allocated a satisfactory match schedule for Rugby World Cup 2027 in Australia.
