When to watch the 2026 Six Nations
Thursday, Feb. 5 through Saturday, March 14.
Where to watch
The 2026 Six Nations will air in the US on Peacock.
Defending champion France goes in search of back-to-back triumphs as the Six Nations gets underway this weekend in what looks to potentially be an even tighter tournament than last year's nail-biter.
While Les Bleus enter the tournament as favorites to repeat last year's triumph, they face serious competition from an England team on an 11-match winning run. Under Steve Borthwick, they will be desperate to make amends after missing out on the 2025 title by a single point.
Having claimed the Triple Crown in 2024, Andy Farrell's Ireland will be looking to bounce back after last year's third-place finish and a disappointing showing in the recent Autumn Nations Series. And a promising-looking Scotland team will be hoping to deliver some consistency and improve upon last year's fourth-place finish.
The 2026 Six Nations takes place over five weeks and 15 matches, starting with the opening fixture between France and Ireland at the Stade de France in Paris on Thursday, Feb. 5, and ending with France versus England on Saturday, March 14. A full list of matches can be found at the foot of the page.
