Where to watch a Six Nations 2027 match in the UK and Ireland?

Dublin and the Aviva Stadium

Aviva Stadium is located in the Ballsbridge district, a half-hour walk from the city center. Lansdowne Road station, served by the DART commuter rail line, is also right next door. On match nights, the whole area comes alive with the fans.

Edinburgh and Murrayfield

Murrayfield is the largest stadium in Scotland. It is located to the west of the city, and the tram stops right in front of it. Before kick-off, fans march up the main road to the sound of bagpipes.

London and Twickenham

Twickenham is the largest rugby stadium in the world. It's easily accessible by train from Waterloo station in about thirty minutes. However, expect a long wait on the platform after the match.

Cardiff, a stadium right in the center

In Cardiff, the national stadium stands on the banks of the River Taff, a short walk from the central station. Its retractable roof and Welsh chants make it one of the most impressive venues of the tournament.

How to get tickets for the 2027 Six Nations?

In practice, each federation sells tickets for its home matches: the IRFU in Ireland, the RFU in England, Scottish Rugby, and the Welsh Rugby Union. Club and supporter program members often have priority access. The general public then has access to the remaining seats.

In particular, major matches, such as Ireland vs. England or England vs. France, sell out quickly. Therefore, sign up for federation alerts as early as autumn. Also, avoid unofficial resale sites: tickets resold above their price may be cancelled.

Experience the atmosphere of the tournament

However, rugby is also experienced outside the stadium. In Dublin, the pubs fill up from the afternoon onwards, and the traditional Irish music often takes over after the match. In Edinburgh, our traditional pubs of Edinburgh broadcast all the matches.

A match weekend also leaves time for sightseeing. Follow our itinerary, for example... Visit Dublin in 3 days, or our ideas to find out What to do in Edinburgh.

Plan your trip for the 2027 Six Nations

• Book your accommodation as soon as tickets go on sale: prices rise quickly on match weekends.
• Ideally, arrive the day before, especially for Friday night matches.
• Plan to bring a passport and an ETA authorization for London, Edinburgh, and Cardiff, as explained in our guide to entry formalities to the United Kingdom.
• Finally, pack warm and waterproof clothing: February remains cold and wet.

The Ireland-France match on March 13th also falls four days before Ireland's national day. You can therefore extend your stay with our guide to the Saint Patrick's Day in Dublin.

Another major sporting event: the Grand Départ of the Tour de France, from July 2nd to 4th, 2027. See our guide to the Tour de France 2027 in Great Britain.
