Women’s Six Nations 2026: fixtures, kick-off times, standings, results and how to watch on BBC

Defending Women’s Six Nations champions England travel to Bordeaux for a Grand Slam decider against France on Sunday 17 May (BBC Two, 16:45 BST live).

John Mitchell’s world champions began their bid for an eighth successive title with a 33-12 win over Ireland in front of a record Women’s Six Nations crowd of 77,120 at the Allianz Stadium on 11 April.

The Red Roses then scored 12 tries in an 84-7 win over Scotland and after running in 10 tries they beat Wales 62-24 to win the Triple Crown.

A 61-33 win over Italy in Parma kept their title defense on track and extended their record-breaking winning streak in all competitions to 37 Tests. In the women’s six races, they haven’t lost since 2018.

However, they will face stiff competition from France, who have completed four bonus-point wins of their own as they seek a first title since 2018.

Francois Retier’s side thumped Italy 40-7 in their opening game of the Championship and piled on to 11 with wins over Wales (34-7) and Ireland (26-7) before beating Scotland 69-28 in Edinburgh.

France, who boast the best defense in this year’s competition, edged out England on points in the title decider.
