The Barbarians will return to BBC TV for the first time since 2009 when they face Argentina in the Killik Cup match at Twickenham this season.
The game will be televised to a widespread free-to-air audience on BBC Two on Saturday, December 1.
The live broadcast renews a long association between the club and the BBC, including the classic 1973 match against New Zealand containing Gareth Edwards’s iconic try.
Barbarians Chairman John Spencer said: “We’re delighted to be renewing our partnership with the BBC for this match which gives us the chance to showcase the excitement and enjoyment for which the Barbarians are famous.
“It’s a reflection of the enduring relevance and status of the club and we’re sure it will help us connect with a new generation of fans.”
The Barbarians side will be coached by South Africa’s Rassie Erasmus and include international players from around the world such as current stars Eben Etzebeth, Handre Pollard and Tendai Mtawarira who featured in the Springboks’ squad that beat New Zealand earlier this month.
The Barbarians enjoyed a vintage 2017/18 season with internationals against Australia, New Zealand and Tonga as well as a record 63-45 win over England in May and the launch of its women’s team with matches against Munster and the Army.
BBC Head of TV Sport Philip Bernie said: “Welcoming the Barbarians back to the BBC further strengthens our Autumn Internationals programme, which also includes live coverage of Wales and Scotland matches plus extended England highlights.
“The Barbarians lit up Twickenham when beating England back in May and their attacking brand of rugby should make for an exciting contest against an Argentina side which has already defeated Australia and South Africa in this year’s Rugby Championship.”
