Tickets on sale for Gallagher Chiefs & Chiefs Manawa 2025 home games 

A blockbuster festival merging the best of New Zealand music and rugby, an Anzac Day return to Tauranga and double-header showdowns are among the games now on sale to the public for the Gallagher Chiefs and Chiefs Manawa 2025 campaigns.  

Tickets went on sale at 10am on January 23 for the full slate of 2025 DHL Super Rugby Pacific and Sky Super Rugby Aupiki games.  

The season opens with a clash against traditional foes the Crusaders on Friday, February 21 (7.05pm kick-off) and forms part of the University of Waikato Orientation Week. 

On Saturday, March 1 (Round 3) some of New Zealand’s top musical acts converge for Super Rugby Pacific’s Culture Round at FMG Stadium Waikato for the Rugby & Rhythms Festival, with Ladi6, Muroki, Hollie Smith, Bailey Wiley and Dan Sharp among the confirmed line-up.  

The festival will take place around a double-header which will see the Gallagher Chiefs take on the Brumbies (4.35pm kick-off) and Chiefs Manawa open their 2025 Sky Super Rugby Aupiki campaign against Matatū (2.05pm kick-off). 

The Round 5 fixture on Saturday, March 15 will be full of family fun at FMG Stadium Waikato as part of Super Rugby Kids Round, with the Gallagher Chiefs playing their 2024 final opponent the Blues (7.05pm kick-off). The day will begin with Chiefs Manawa taking on Hurricanes Poua (4.35pm kick-off). 

Saturday 22 March sees the Chiefs Manawa host a standalone home match at FMG Stadium Waikato when they host the Blues (4.35pm kick-off).  

Round 8 sees the Reds return to Hamilton for the first time since the Gallagher Chiefs knocked them out of the quarter finals of last year’s competition, in what promises to be another huge trans-Tasman showdown.  

It’s back to local derby action over Easter Weekend when the Highlanders visit.  

On Friday, April 25 for the Round 11 fixture, the Gallagher Chiefs return to Tauranga for the first time in over a decade to host the Western Force in a special Anzac Day match at Bay Oval (7.05pm kick-off). 

The final regular season home game will be a celebration of culture against Moana Pasifika on Saturday, May 24 (7.05pm kick-off).
