Autumn Nations Series 2026

Collection: Autumn Nations Series 2026

The Autumn Nations Series runs every November — the one month in the international rugby calendar when Southern Hemisphere sides travel to Europe and play the Six Nations countries on their home ground. For supporters, it's the only regular chance to watch New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Argentina or Fiji without getting on a long-haul flight. Rugby Box Office has tickets for all confirmed Autumn Nations 2026 fixtures.

A quick note on what we hear from customers: the autumn fixtures that go first every year are Ireland vs South Africa in Dublin and France vs South Africa in Paris. Both tend to sell out well before November. If either of those is on your list, it's worth moving on sooner rather than later.

About the Autumn Nations Series

The Autumn Nations Series replaced the old Autumn Internationals format and runs across three or four November weekends. Each of the Six Nations sides hosts one or more touring opponents — the fixture list varies year to year depending on which southern hemisphere nations are travelling. The matches count towards the World Rugby Rankings and are generally used by both home and away sides as preparation for either the Six Nations or the Southern Hemisphere season.

For context on the venues: Twickenham, the Aviva, Murrayfield, the Principality and the Stade de France are the same grounds that host Six Nations rugby. If you've been to one of those for the Six Nations and are considering an autumn fixture, the matchday experience is broadly comparable — the difference is the opposition, and the fact that travelling supporters from South Africa, Argentina, New Zealand and Fiji add a different texture to the crowd.
