"The climax of the new 12-team competition, which will be held every two years and replaces traditional tours, will be held at Twickenham at the end of November with two matches on Friday, two on Saturday and two on Sunday. Six Nations form guide: how the 2026 contenders are shaping up The six Tests pit the sixth-place finisher in the northern hemisphere pool against the sixth in the southern hemisphere pool, the fifth against the fifth and so on, culminating in the first against the first."
"Spectators will be buying blind because it is unlikely the identity of the teams contesting the finals will be known until the weekend before, with results from three July Tests and three regular fixtures in November determining the standings. Still, the most expensive tickets to watch the 4 v 4 and 1 v 1 finals will stretch to 279.90. That allows supporters to watch two matches but it is in effect the top price for the final because tickets cannot be bought for a single match."
The Nations Championship is a new 12-team tournament replacing traditional tours, staged every two years and culminating in a weekend at Twickenham at the end of November. The weekend will host six Tests across three days, pairing teams by finishing position across northern and southern pools (6 v 6 up to 1 v 1). Ticketing includes top prices of 279.90 for the two-match finals package, with cheaper day rates of 125 for finals day, 100 for Saturday and 60 for Friday, and reduced junior prices. Team identities for finals are likely unknown until shortly before the event, and organisers allow multi-day discounts and anticipate a resale market.
