France lift the trophy after winning the 2025 Six Nations title.

As we head into the new year, the 2026 men’s Six Nations is now just a month away with the northern hemisphere sides gearing up for what is set to be another huge tournament.

Before the action gets underway, Planet Rugby has got you covered with all the fixtures ahead of an exciting competition.

It is always one of the highlights of the sporting calendar and it kicks off with a unique first as France take on Ireland in an absolute humdinger on Thursday, February 5.

There is just one fallow week this year with organisers deciding to condense the tournament and it ends with Les Bleus once again headlining proceedings as they face England in what is expected to be the Six Nations title decider.
