Five Rounds Of Super Saturdays Confirmed For 2027 Guinness Women’s Six Nations

The fixtures and kick off times for the 26th edition of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations have been confirmed, with all five rounds of the 2027 Championship set to take place across a series of ‘Super Saturdays’.

Next year’s tournament will begin on Saturday 10th April with Italy at home and hosting European neighbours France, with fixtures unfolding over five Saturdays and culminating in a decisive round five on Saturday 15th May, when England host France to close out the Championship.

The best international women’s rugby teams in the northern hemisphere will compete to win the next edition of the Women’s Championship and claim the title of a tournament that has established itself as the linchpin within the global women’s rugby calendar.

Ireland’s campaign begins against Scotland on the opening weekend followed by a home match against France in Round 2 and and trip to Wales in Round 3 before the rest week. England then travel to Ireland for the penultimate stage with the final round in Italy.

Building on the momentum generated by the record-breaking 2026 Championship, the 2027 Guinness Women’s Six Nations is set to deliver another unpredictable, entertaining and dramatic tournament for players, fans, broadcasters and partners alike.

As the 2026 Championship reaches its conclusion, it has already broken multiple records, across broadcast audiences, stadium attendances, engagement across social and digital channels, and highlighted the significance of the tournament as a primary momentum driver for the sport through its ability to give the players, teams and sport itself a global platform to shine.

Leading into Round Five this year, 12.85 million fans have tuned in across core markets, 209,692 fans have packed out venues to watch the stars of the sport, and Women’s Six Nations channels have seen a 109% increase in engagement and 143% increase in views – representing 1.9 million engagements and 70 million views respectively – setting new benchmarks that the 2027 Championship will look to build on.

The decision to stage every round of fixtures in next year’s tournament on a Saturday is designed to create a consistent fan focussed experience each weekend, responding to the increasing interest and engagement with the women’s game by offering consecutive fixtures to enjoy, driving maximum visibility by taking over an entire day each weekend, to allow the teams to shine in front of fans.

The 2027 Guinness Women’s Six Nations benefits from comprehensive coverage across its key markets, including extensive Free-To-Air access for fans in the UK thanks to the exclusive partnership with BBC and with S4C in Wales, with RTÉ and Virgin Media Television sharing coverage in Ireland and the longstanding support from France Télévisions giving fans in France coverage from every fixture.
