The 2026 Guinness Women’s Six Nations takes place from 11 April to 17 May 2026, bringing together England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales for five rounds of international rugby.

The competition again uses a same-day triple-header format, with three matches played consecutively each round before the championship concludes with a decisive Super Sunday.

The England women’s national rugby union team enter the 2026 Guinness Women’s Six Nations Championship as reigning world champions following their triumph at the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup, and interest in the championship is already reflected in impressive ticket demand. Their home fixture at Twickenham Stadium is set to be one of the standout occasions of the tournament, with more than 60,000 tickets already sold, underlining the continued growth and visibility of the women’s game in England.

Other unions are also bringing marquee fixtures to their national stadiums. Scotland women’s national rugby union team will host England at Murrayfield Stadium, where more than 21,000 tickets have already been purchased. In Wales, the Wales women’s national rugby union team will stage a match at the iconic Principality Stadium, while the Ireland women’s national rugby union team are set to bring the championship to Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The use of these major venues highlights the rising profile of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations and the growing support for the international women’s game across the British Isles.

In the United Kingdom, matches are expected to be broadcast live across BBC television and BBC iPlayer, providing free-to-air coverage throughout the tournament.
