When is the Six Nations 2027?
The 2027 Six Nations Championship is scheduled to run from Friday 5 February to Saturday 13 March 2027, with five rounds of matches between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Check the official fixture list for exact dates and kick-off times.
The Six Nations is the biggest rugby union betting event in Britain and Ireland: five rounds over six weeks with England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Handicap betting dominates, and home advantage, weather and team selection can swing results. It's also a short tournament, so a tipster's record over one championship proves little.

How to judge Six Nations tips before you pay
Handicap records matter more than winners
Picking the favourite to win is easy. Ask for a tipster's full record on handicap and totals markets, which is where most rugby value — and most losses — are.
Team news is everything
Line-ups are named a couple of days before each match. A tipster who posts picks before team news and never updates them is taking a bigger risk than their results may show.
Ask for a full, time-stamped record — not highlights
Every tipster shares their big wins. What matters is every bet they advised, with the time it was sent, the stake and the odds available then. If they can only show winners, assume the losers were hidden.
Check the odds were actually available
Prices can move quickly after a tip is posted. Judge a record at the odds you could realistically get, and be wary of results quoted at the best price anywhere.
One tournament is a tiny sample
Even a busy event is only a small number of bets. A tipster can have a brilliant or awful tournament by luck alone, so judge them on years of results, not one event.
Set a budget and level stakes before it starts
Decide a total budget for the event, use level stakes (for example 1–2% of your bank per point) and stick to it. Chasing losses late in a tournament is how most people give back their winnings. 18+, and only bet what you can afford to lose.
