The Nations Championship will take place every two years, outside of Rugby World Cup and British & Irish Lions Tour years. The tournament will see twelve of the strongest international rugby nations in the world form two groups of six teams.

The Six Nations teams form a European group to represent the Northern Hemisphere, and will face the powerhouse SANZAAR nations, plus invitational teams Japan and Fiji, who complete the line up representing the Southern Hemisphere.

In July, the Northern Hemisphere group of teams will travel to play three rounds of fixtures, with every team playing a different rival from the opposing Hemisphere group. In November , the Southern Hemisphere group will then travel north of the equator for the remaining three rounds.

Then the Finals Weekend will deliver wall-to-wall elite sporting entertainment to fans, with three days of double headers taking centre stage at Allianz Stadium.

The RFU has ensured that as an affiliated club we will have early access to purchase tickets for the three November 2026 home pool games and then the three days that make up the finals weekend.

Pool games:

England v Australia: Sunday 8 November, KO 15:10

England v Japan: Saturday 14 November, KO 16:40

England v New Zealand: Saturday 21 November, KO 14:10

The following weekend the Finals will take place

Friday 27 November, 6 v 6 final - KO 16:40 followed by the 3 v 3 final - KO 20:10

Saturday 28 November, 5 v 5 final - KO 13:10 followed by the 2 v 2 final - KO 16:40

Sunday 29 November, 4 v 4 final KO 13:10 followed by the 1 v 1 final - KO 16:40
