Your quick guide to the 2026 Six Nations fixtures, including UK broadcaster information and 2025 results
The first 2026 Six Nations fixtures are less than a week away, as the tournament gets set to kick off with its first Thursday fixture since 1948.
The 5 February curtain-raiser should be a true blockbuster event, as reigning champions France host Ireland at the Stade de France. This year’s contest to lift the Six Nations trophy continues on Saturday, as Wales face a tricky trip to the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, where they’ll be looking to avenge the record defeat they suffered against England in March. Earlier that day, Scotland head to Rome to take on Italy.
In a break with recent tradition, there will be only one fallow week this year, with the players getting their single weekend off after the third round of matches. The entire tournament will be completed in the space of just five weeks.
The kick-off times have also shifted slightly: early Saturday games are 2.10pm, late afternoon matches are 4.40pm, evening kick-offs are 8.10pm, and Sunday games will get underway at 3.10pm (all times GMT).
You’ll find all of the 2026 Six Nations fixtures below – along with kick-off times where you are.
