This guide to England rugby union fixtures tells you when and where the men’s and women’s teams are in action in 2025 – including venue details and kick-off times around the world. We’ll add other matches as they’re officially confirmed.

For the men, the main event on the horizon is the Six Nations, where Steve Borthwick’s side will be looking to kick on after a disappointing autumn. The players will also have at least one eye on next summer’s British & Irish Lions tour to Australia.

It’s set to be an even bigger year for the Red Roses. Having won the WXV 1 tournament in September and October, the number one side in the world will be focusing on the Women’s Six Nations in the spring and the home World Cup that kicks off in August.

We also have comprehensive guides to Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Wales fixtures. For other international and club sides, check out our detailed round-up of rugby fixtures around the world.
