🏆 What is the Nations Championship?
For decades, the “Autumn Internationals” were high-level friendly matches. Starting this year, that changes forever. The Nations Championship is a new biennial global competition designed to provide narrative, stakes, and a clear path to a world title every two years (excluding Rugby World Cup years).
How it works:
- Two Conferences: The tournament is split into two conferences of 12 teams (Northern and Southern).
- The Format: Following the July and November rounds, every match earns points toward a global table.
- The Grand Final: The top team from the Northern conference faces the top team from the Southern conference in a winner-takes-all showdown to be crowned the Nations Champion.
🏟️ The Finals Weekend at Twickenham
In a historic move for the sport, the Nations Championship Finals will be staged as a massive festival of rugby right here at Twickenham. While England’s pool matches are on sale now, fans should also prepare for the ultimate weekend of the competition:
- The Finals Dates: Friday 27, Saturday 28, and Sunday 29 November 2026.
- What to Expect: This three-day event will feature ranking matches and the inaugural Grand Final, bringing the world’s best players to London for a definitive conclusion to the international season.
