Here’s the latest on the 2026 Women’s Six Nations.
- England are the defending champions entering 2026, after winning the title in 2025. This has set them as the team to beat early in the season.[2][4]
- The 2026 edition runs across five weeks starting in April, with each team playing the others once; points are awarded for wins, with bonus points for tries and close losses, following the standard Six Nations format.[6][2]
- Early results show England’s strong start and notable results for France, Ireland, and Italy as the competition progressed, including high-scoring fixtures and tight late finishes in certain rounds.[4][5]
- The tournament schedule introduced a triple-header format on several match days, with a Super Saturday series of rounds and a finale on Super Sunday in the fifth round, plus standalone fixtures for Scotland and Ireland at their home venues for the first time.[7]
