Rugby Autumn Internationals

November

The traditional Autumn Internationals take on a new format in 2026, forming the concluding rounds of the inaugural Nations Championship — a new global competition featuring twelve of the world's top men's teams, including England, France, Ireland, Wales, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. Running through November, England host Australia, Japan and New Zealand at Twickenham, while Wales welcome Japan, New Zealand and Australia to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with both nations also playing a fourth fixture during Finals Weekend (27–29 November), determined by the standings after the earlier rounds. The tournament culminates in the first-ever Nations Championship Final in London, crowning the winner of this new biennial event, which takes place in years without a Rugby World Cup or British & Irish Lions tour. With genuine competitive stakes now attached to matches that were once mere warm-ups, and the world's best sides going head-to-head across iconic stadiums, demand for tickets across the autumn window is expected to be high — book early to secure your seats.
