Wales v New Zealand on Amazon for free: How to watch autumn international

Wales v New Zealand is finally here, and plenty who aren't watching on from the stands of the Principality Stadium or Cardiff city centre will be tuning in to Amazon Prime Video at home.

Seventeen of this year's Autumn Nations Series' 20 internationals are being broadcast exclusively on the streaming giant's platform behind a paywall, but if you've timed it right you can actually watch all the action for free.

And that all begins when Wayne Pivac's Wales team welcome the All Blacks to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, October 30 (5.15pm kick-off). You can find the team line-ups here.

Wales games will not be shown live on terrestrial TV at all and Welsh language provision is also on Amazon this year as S4C have been blocked from covering the action live.

You can follow Wales v New Zealand live here now.

How can I watch Wales v New Zealand on Amazon for free?

First thing's first, you could be eligible for a free Amazon Prime trial which would give you access to all of the autumn's international matches for free.

That is via a free 30-day trial, after which new members would be charged £7.99 per month. You can sign up for a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial here.

Be careful with the free trials, though, as customers are only eligible for a free trial of Prime every 12 months.

If you decide you don't want to continue with Amazon Prime beyond your free trial ends, just cancel before your 30 days is up. If you forget, you will then be charged.

As for existing Prime members, all the coverage is available at no extra cost.

Alternatively, you could get an Amazon Prime Video-only subscription for £5.99 per month, without the other Prime benefits.

What about live streaming Amazon's rugby coverage?

Rugby fans can watch Amazon's coverage online or via the Prime Video app through live match coverage, replays, highlights and match clips through smart TVs, mobile devices, Fire TV, Fire TV stick, Fire tablets, games consoles, on Virgin’s V6 TV Box, the Talk Talk TV set top box, Apple TV, Chromecast, BT TV or online.

You can find a full list of compatible devices here.

How to set up an Amazon Fire TV Stick

The following steps will allow Prime customers to watch the Autumn Nations Series on an Amazon Fire TV Stick:

  1. Plug Fire TV Stick into an HDTV with a compatible HDMI port
  2. Plug the Fire TV power cable into a plug socket
  3. Connect the Fire TV Stick to the internet via on-screen instructions
  4. Open the Prime Video app and select Autumn Nations Series
