England will play two Tests against Argentina in July in their first tour of South America since 2017.

Steve Borthwick's side are scheduled to face Argentina in La Plata on 5 July and San Juan on 12 July.

The fixtures clash with the British and Irish Lions' tour of Australia so Borthwick will likely have a depleted squad.

England won both Tests during their 2017 tour of Argentina.

The most recent meeting between the two nations was the third-place play-off at the 2023 World Cup, which England won 26-23.

Argentina's opening match of the summer comes against the British and Irish Lions in Dublin on 20 June.




Lions to play in Ireland for first time ahead of 2025 Australia tour

A fixture against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday June 20 follows the Lions beating Japan in an inaugural 1888 Cup contest in Edinburgh ahead of their 2021 tour of South Africa.

"The opportunity to play in Dublin at Aviva Stadium in front of over 50,000 Lions fans will make for a great occasion and the perfect send-off," Lions chief executive Ben Calveley said.

"British & Irish Lions Tours have a rich heritage built over 130 years of touring but alongside our strong history which we are very proud of, it is important that we look for ways in which to evolve our Tours."

While the last of the Lions' three tours of Argentina came in 1936, the last fixture between the sides ended in a 25-25 draw as they faced off in Cardiff in 2005.



What are the Lions fixtures?

Following their clash in Perth, the Lions will face Queensland Reds in Brisbane on July 2, the Waratahs in Sydney on July 5, the Brumbies in Canberra on July 9, an Invitational Australia & New Zealand side in Adelaide on July 12 and the Rebels in Melbourne on July 22.

That game will take place after the opening Test in Brisbane on July 19, with the second Test at the MCG in Melbourne on July 26 and the final Test in the Accor Stadium in Sydney on August 2.
