Six Nations Sets 2027 Women’s Championship for All‑Saturday Slate With Five ‘Super Saturdays’

Six Nations cites record 2026 growth as the reason.

Overview

  • Six Nations Rugby confirmed the 2027 Women’s Six Nations will run entirely on Saturdays, creating a unified match window built around five ‘Super Saturdays’.
  • The organizer released the full fixture list with pairings and kick-off times across all five rounds, with England hosting France in the final game.
  • The U21 Women’s Series will return alongside the senior tournament, with several double‑header matchdays to showcase young talent before larger crowds.
  • Officials pointed to 2026 results to justify the change, reporting a 98.5% rise in attendance, 12.85 million viewers across core markets, and a 109% jump in social engagement.
  • A record 77,120 fans attended England vs Ireland at London’s Allianz Stadium in 2026, a benchmark the Saturday format is designed to replicate by making it easier for fans and broadcasters to plan.
