A narrow defeat to Argentina in Dublin wasn't the ideal start but coach Andy Farrell won't be too concerned as there were plenty of positives to take and the first Test against the Wallabies is still a fair way away.
Indeed, the tourists will play five more warm-up matches before they take to the field against Australia in mid-July.
Matches are going to be spread out throughout each week until the end of the tour at the start of August – and we're on hand to guide you through all the drama.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the Lions Tour 2025 matches coming up on TV.
