Six Nations 2026 fixtures confirmed

NEWS: The full fixture list for the 2026 Men’s Six Nations has been confirmed, with the Championship set to kick-off on Thursday, February 5 as France host Ireland in a blockbuster opening clash.

France will have three home fixtures in 2026, hosting Italy in Round Three and England in Round Five, with ‘Le Crunch’ serving as the final fixture of Super Saturday, on March 14.

Fans in France can look forward to being part of the opening and closing acts of what is set to be another unmissable edition of rugby’s most loved annual occasion.

Explosive opening weekend

Round One of next year’s Six Nations packs a punch, with one of rugby’s greatest rivalries taking place at Twickenham Stadium when England host Wales for the Anglo-Welsh clash that will conclude the opening weekend of the Championship.

The rivalries don’t end there for England, who travel to Edinburgh in Round Two to face a Scotland side who will be adamant that the Calcutta Cup returns north of the border, after losing their grip on the trophy in 2025, when they attempted to make it five years in a row of winning rugby’s oldest piece of international silverware.

Round Three sees Italy travel to France to face their fierce European rivals.

The Azzuri have claimed famous wins, dramatic draws and suffered losses at the hands of ruthless France teams during their 25 years in the Championship, but it is its unpredictability that makes it one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Six Nations, each year.

In Round Four, Ireland welcomes fans for a Friday night fixture and resumes the action after a brief hiatus and fallow week in the Championship.

Wales head to Dublin looking to cause an upset but will face more than just a formidable Ireland side, thanks to the famous support of the home fans.

All roads lead to Rome for England in the penultimate weekend of fixtures in Round Four, as they take on Italy in the eternal city.

Scotland meanwhile hosts France, in a repeat of the final fixture of the 2025 Championship, which ultimately sealed the title for France last time around.
