The six rounds of cross-hemisphere fixtures for the new Nations Championship next year have been confirmed.
Three rounds in the southern hemisphere in July will be followed by three more in the north in November, with the 2026 finals weekend for all 12 teams then taking place in London on week seven.
Steve Borthwick’s England will kick off their campaign with a blockbuster July 4 trip to South Africa, followed by games away to Fiji and Argentina. Andy Farrell’s Ireland have been handed an away schedule that starts in Australia, moves onto Japan and then ends in New Zealand.
