2026 Women's Six Nations Championship: Fixtures, Results, and Schedule

Get all the essential information on the 2026 Women's Six Nations schedule, including fixtures and standings, as England seeks to retain their title against stiff competition from France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. Overview of the Women's Six Nations Standings For an enhanced video experience, please use the Chrome browser As seven-time consecutive winners of the Women's Six Nations, England are strong contenders for this year's tournament, aiming for their fifth successive Grand Slam. Fresh from their World Cup victory on home turf, England's team, led by John Mitchell, boasts a new captain, Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford. Last year, England narrowly edged out France 43-42 in the final match to claim the Women's Six Nations title, and the two European rugby powerhouses are set to meet again on the last day of the tournament, May 17. A Grand Slam is achieved when a team emerges victorious against all opponents in a single campaign, a feat accomplished 25 times in the history of the Home/Five/Six Nations championship. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that defeats the other three teams in the same tournament, with England having secured this title 24 times, among the Home Nations of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The Wooden Spoon is a dubious honor bestowed upon the team that finishes last in the standings, a fate that has befallen Wales in the previous two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
