Six Nations 2027 Tickets: Secure Your Seats!

There is no single on-sale date, but six different ones. Each union sells tickets for its own home matches according to its own schedule — and in most countries, the general public only gets access to any remaining tickets once clubs and members have been allocated theirs.

Anywhere from twelve months to just a few weeks beforehand, depending on the host country. Italy releases tickets very early, sometimes almost a year in advance. France and Wales tend to release tickets later, once club allocations have been dealt with. England, Ireland and Scotland rarely offer general public sales, as most tickets are distributed through clubs and members.

In practice, if you are not a member of any rugby union or affiliated club, the most useful period is between September and January before the tournament, and availability can be short-lived.

There are only two official sources: the union of the host country, or an official partner appointed by that union. This is also stated on the Six Nations ticketing page: tickets should only be purchased from a union or from an official partner appointed by a union.

In practical terms, there are five main options:

The price depends on the stadium, seating category and fixture: the difference between a premium category and a pitchside seat can be as much as tenfold. A France v England match at the Stade de France and an Italy v Scotland match at the Stadio Olimpico are not in the same price range.

Prices displayed by resellers often include service fees that only appear at checkout, so always compare the final price rather than the headline price.

Because the tournament does not belong to one single organiser. Each rugby union controls its own home matches and sells tickets according to its own rules, priorities and timetable.

The practical consequence is simple: for a France v England match played at Twickenham, the English RFU decides how tickets are sold, not the FFR. If the same fixture is played at the Stade de France the following year, the opposite applies.

Five simple checks can help you avoid most scams:

1. Check the seller's identity — company name, registration number, address and reachable customer service. A website with no legal or company information gives you very little recourse if something goes wrong.
2. Be wary of prices that look too low for the most sought-after categories. A Category 1 ticket priced far below the market rate should be treated with caution.
3. Never pay by bank transfer or by a payment method intended for “friends and family”. These payment methods usually offer little or no buyer protection.
4. Ask for the ticket to be transferred through the official ticketing platform itself, rather than accepting a PDF emailed by a private seller: the same PDF can potentially be sold several times.
5. Be aware that resale above face value is regulated in several Six Nations countries. A ticket resold for several times its original price may be cancelled or refused at the entrance.

Each fixture alternates between home and away venues. If France hosted England at the Stade de France this year, the match will be played at Twickenham the following season.

The venue determines everything else: which union sells the tickets, when they go on sale, the pricing structure and the stadium seating plan.

Yes, although usually above face value. Once the unions' official allocations have sold out, tickets may still be available through specialist resellers, travel agencies and packages including transport and accommodation.
