Here’s the latest on Women’s Six Nations fixtures.
Overview
- The 2026 Women’s Six Nations features a revamped schedule with back-to-back matches on certain weekends, culminating in a Super Sunday finale on May 17, 2026. This format aims to boost viewing and engagement across time zones. [ITV/Wales coverage report and related outlets discuss the format change and the May 17 climax].
Key dates and rounds (2026)
- Round 1: Saturday, April 11 – France vs Italy; England vs Ireland; Wales vs Scotland.
- Round 2: Saturday, April 18 – Scotland vs England; Wales vs France; Ireland vs Italy.
- Round 3: Saturday, April 25 – England vs Wales; Italy vs Scotland; France vs Ireland.
- Round 4: Saturday, May 9 – Italy vs England; Scotland vs France; Ireland vs Wales.
- Round 5 (Final Weekend/Super Sunday): Sunday, May 17 – Wales vs Italy; Ireland vs Scotland; France vs England. These matches are typically broadcast live on BBC platforms in the UK and Ireland, with coverage in other regions via local broadcasters or streaming services.
Notes and context
- England have entered the title defense as reigning champions, with fixtures opening on the weekend of April 11, 2026. [Coverage notes on the revamped format and kickoff fixtures reference this opening weekend].
- The “Super Saturday/Super Sunday” concept means two or three matches per day on certain rounds, followed by a final Sunday to decide the championship. This approach is designed to maximize global broadcast reach. [Reports on the format change mention this structure and the May 17 wrap-up].
What I can do next
- If you want, I can pull exact kickoff times, stadiums, and TV/listing details for your location in Dallas, TX, and convert them to your local time. I can also provide a playable itinerary and suggest how to watch (TV vs online) based on availability in your region.
Would you like me to extract precise match times and broadcasters for each Round 1–5 fixture and convert them to Central Time? I can also create a simple schedule you can save or share.
