Nations Championship 2026: Results, fixtures, TV channels, squads and all you need to know about the return of the biennial international rugby competition

Having made its debut in July, the inaugural Nations Championship returns in November for its European leg of fixtures.

There’ll be three rounds of matches throughout the month, wrapped up by a weekend of finals at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.

The Nations Championship features the six European teams from the Six Nations (England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales), the four Rugby Championship sides (New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina), and Fiji and Japan. (For the purposes of the Nations Championship Japan count as a southern hemisphere side, despite the country being north of the equator.)

The tournament is designed to add an extra competitive element to summer and autumn internationals, while helping to align the global rugby calendar. It takes place in years when there’s no Rugby World Cup or British & Irish Lions tour.

After three rounds of matches in July, France and Scotland lead the northern hemisphere section, while the Springboks and All Blacks top the table south of the equator.

Honours were split evenly between north and south across after the July fixtures, though South Africa and New Zealand are the only unbeaten sides. Italy and Fiji are the only sides looking for their first wins in the newest international competition in men’s rugby.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know about the new competition, including results and scorers so far, top points scorers, the remaining Nations Championship 2026 fixtures, a free downloadable wall chart, TV information and every team’s squad for the upcoming November fixtures.
