The Springboks will play four Tests on their year-end tour in November against Ireland, France, Italy, and England.
An SA Select XV game has also been confirmed against the Bristol Bears as part of a planned series of midweek games.
The Springboks will kick off their tour against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, 5 November, and this will be followed by the Test against France at Marseille's Stade Vélodrome a week later on 12 November.
Italy await on 19 November, with the venue yet to be confirmed by the hosts and the tour concludes against England at Twickenham in London on 26 November.
SA Rugby announced on Tuesday that negotiations are currently underway to arrange two more midweek games for an SA Select XV team during the tour, following confirmation that a fixture against the Bristol Bears at the 27 000-seater Ashton Gate stadium will be hosted on Thursday, 17 November.
These matches will complete what will be a challenging international season for the Springboks which already features the Castle Lager Incoming Series against Wales and the Castle Lager Rugby Championship.

Meanwhile:
Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has named two uncapped players in his starting lineup and a further four among the replacements for Saturday's second Test against Wales in Bloemfontein.
The uncapped Kurt-Lee Arendse on the wing and 8th man Evan Roos have been handed starts, while prop Ntuthuko Mchunu, lock Ruan Nortje, utility forward Deon Fourie and scrumhalf Grant Williams could make their debuts off the bench.
Four players in the match-23 retained their places in the squad from last week's win at Loftus, including veteran lock Eben Etzebeth, who will earn his 99th cap for South Africa on Saturday.
Hooker Malcolm Marx, prop Vincent Koch and utility back Damian Willemse have all been included on the bench.
Experienced flyhalf Handre Pollard returns to the squad after not featuring in the first Test and takes over the captaincy from Siya Kolisi this week.
