Match Preview
The 2027 Guinness Men’s Six Nations takes place from Friday 5 February to Saturday 13 March, bringing together England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales for five rounds of international rugby. The Championship features 15 matches across six weeks, with each country playing every other nation once and receiving either two or three home fixtures. The tournament begins under the Friday-night lights in Dublin as Ireland host England at 8:10pm GMT on 5 February. Fixtures will be staged at Allianz Stadium in London, the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Scottish Gas Murrayfield in Edinburgh, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, the Stade de France in Paris and Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. The opening three rounds are followed by a fallow week before the Championship resumes in March. Super Saturday concludes the tournament on 13 March with three consecutive matches: Italy versus Wales at 2:10pm GMT, England versus Scotland at 4:40pm GMT and Ireland versus France at 8:10pm GMT. Alongside the main Championship trophy, teams can compete for honours including the Grand Slam, Triple Crown and individual rivalry trophies such as the Calcutta Cup. Ticket arrangements differ between the six host unions, with seats commonly distributed through national rugby memberships, affiliated clubs, supporter allocations, official sales and hospitality packages. Availability is expected to be particularly limited for major rivalry matches and the final round. This guide will be updated with ticket-release information, confirmed availability, travel guidance and any fixture changes ahead of the 2027 Championship.
