France 2023 unveiled this Friday the complete schedule of the 48 matches of the 2023 World Cup in France (September 8-October 28).
It will begin with a capital shock on September 8 at the Stade de France, between the Blues and the All Blacks.
To complete its first round, the XV of France will play in Lille on Thursday September 14 against the American qualifier (probably the United States), then in Marseille on Thursday September 21 against the African qualifier.
Namibia or… Algeria.
The last match of the Blues will be held on Friday, October 6 in Lyon against Italy.
They will then play their quarter-final at the Stade de France.
In addition to France-New Zealand on Friday evening, the first weekend will be royal with England-Argentina (in Marseille) on Saturday evening and Scotland-South Africa (still in Marseille) on Sunday.
