🚨 Six Nations Shakeup! 🚨 Excitement is in the air as the 2026 Six Nations tournament is just around the corner, and it’s kicking off with a twist! In a historic first, France will host Ireland on Thursday evening, breaking away from the traditional weekend fixtures. Why the change? Organisers aim to avoid clashing with the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan on Friday. 🎉
But that’s not all—this year, the tournament is squeezing into a tighter schedule, down by a week! With the debut of the Nations Championship set for later this year, the Six Nations will see three back-to-back weekends of thrills, giving fans plenty to cheer for in a shorter span. 🏉
Mark your calendars: Wales will face Ireland in Dublin for a sensational Friday night match on 6th March! For the first time, the Aviva Stadium gets the Six Nations night-time treatment. 🌙🏟️
Here’s a peek at Round 1:
– France v Ireland: Thursday, 5th February, 8.10pm
– Italy v Scotland: Saturday, 7th February, 2.10pm
– England v Wales: Saturday, 7th February, 4.40pm
Get ready for a whirlwind of rugby action. It’s a year of firsts, and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Who’s ready to roar for their team? 🦁🎆 #SixNations #RugbyUnion #GameOn
