For the first time in history, the British & Irish Lions squad will be revealed live in front of fans from Indigo at The O2 in London on May 8.
Lions chair Ieuan Evans will unveil the selections from head coach Andy Farrell, with more than 2,000 supporters due to be in attendance.
It is taking place in the smaller Indigo venue which is separate to the main 20,000-capacity arena.
“The British & Irish Lions always aim to unite and inspire through extraordinary experiences and this event is no different,” said Lions chief executive Ben Calveley.
“Taking place at indigo in The O2, this will be our biggest and most special squad announcement yet.
“We are absolutely delighted to see record numbers of fans already travelling to Australia this summer as the Sea of Red unites for the first time since 2017.
“But we also know there are millions of fans at home who also want to be brought closer to the action – and this unique event gives them the chance to do that.
“Both at home and on Tour, our Lions supporters are hugely important to us. And as always, their energy and passion will be vital in helping us attempt to win a Test Series against the Wallabies this summer.”
A ticket ballot for the event is set to go live in the coming weeks, although an exact date is yet to be announced.
Lions Rugby Club members will have priority access to purchase tickets.
This year’s Lions tour is set to take place in Australia from June 28 to August 2025, following a warmup match against Argentina at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on June 20.
