The Six Nations 2027 is set. On March 9, 2026, organisers dropped the full fixture list, and fans barely had time to catch their breath after the wild 2026 Championship. It all kicks off under the Friday night lights at the Aviva Stadium, where Andy Farrell’s Ireland faces off against England on February 5, 2027. That opener isn’t just another match; it launches five rounds of hard-hitting, no-nonsense Test rugby.

Friday Night Lights And Away Challenges For Ireland

The 2027 Championship marks an "odd" numbered year for Ireland, meaning that they will have to handle difficult run of three consecutive away games. After the home opener against England, the Men in Green fly to the Stadio Olimpico on Valentine's weekend to take on Italy. Then, they will travel to Cardiff for the match against Wales in Round 3.

Another "Friday Night Lights" fixture will be waiting in Round 4 as Ireland go to Murrayfield to meet Scotland on March 5. This arrangement makes sure that the level of excitement stays high until the final weekend, when Ireland will be lucky to end their championship back in Dublin.

Super Saturday: A Grand Slam Finale

The last day of the tournament is March 13, 2027, and it will feature the usual Super Saturday tripleheader. The day kicks off in Rome, where Italy will be the host team to Wales and then comes the legendary Calcutta Cup showdown between England and Scotland at the Allianz Stadium (Twickenham).
