International rugby returns to the iconic Twickenham Stadium in November 2026 with the launch of the Nations Championship — a brand-new global tournament built around the ultimate test in world rugby: Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere competition.

Tickets are now available for England’s home fixtures and the Finals Weekend, offering supporters the chance to witness elite international rugby on the sport’s biggest stage.

What Is the Nations Championship?
The Nations Championship is a new annual international competition designed to bring together the leading rugby nations from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in a structured, competitive format.

Northern Hemisphere nations face off directly against their Southern Hemisphere counterparts during the group stage, creating high-quality cross-hemisphere clashes that traditionally only occur during autumn tours or World Cups. Every fixture carries real consequence, contributing to overall rankings and determining qualification for the tournament’s decisive knockout phase.

Following the group fixtures, teams progress into a finals weekend, where every position is contested — from 6th place through to the Championship Final — ensuring meaningful rugby across the entire tournament and a true measure of global supremacy.
