The 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC) final between the Springboks and the All Blacks can be publicly viewed at three locations in Cape Town.
Three sites to watch the 2023 Rugby World Cup final live in Cape Town
This year’s Rugby World Cup has been nothing short of electrifying, with the final set to be a historic showdown.
The Springboks and All Blacks haven’t met in a World Cup final since 1995, and both teams aim to become the first country to secure four World Cup titles.
The City of Cape Town has taken steps to ensure that the public can participate in this monumental event. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis announced that residents could watch the match at three public viewing areas.

These include Bree Street in the CBD, the Monwabisi Sport and Recreation Centre in Langa, and the Westridge Civic Centre in Mitchells Plain.
For those opting for the CBD location, the designated area is on Bree Street, between Church and Hout Streets.
Soft road closures will be in effect from Wale to Strand Street and Loop to Buitengracht, covering all side streets leading to the venue.
All three sites will activate their big screens and entertainment at 17:00, well ahead of the match’s 21:00 kick-off time. DJs will also be on-site to keep the energy high before the game starts.
Safety is a priority for the City. Alderman JP Smith, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, stated that enforcement and rescue services would be deployed around the venues.
“We are looking forward to an evening of fun and excitement at the various sites. Apart from the Events logistics, we will also have our enforcement and rescue services deployed in and around the venues, to ensure the safety of those in attendance. This is an important moment for many in our country, and as the City, we are very happy to have a hand in facilitating these public viewing areas for our residents,” JP Smith said.
