England play three Six Nations home games at Twickenham this time: France on a Sunday in mid-February, Italy the Saturday after, and Scotland on the championship’s final Saturday in March. Rugby clubs get at least half the tickets first, so seats are scarce, and the only safe places to buy are England Rugby itself and its hospitality and travel partners. Take the train from Waterloo to Twickenham, or the match-day shuttle from Richmond.
What Six Nations at Twickenham actually is
The Six Nations is the yearly championship between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales, each playing the other five once over seven weeks of February and March. Home and away swap every year, so England alternate between three home games and two, and this edition is a three.
All of them are at Twickenham in south-west London, in the 82,000-seat stadium that now carries a sponsor’s name, Allianz Stadium. Locals still call it Twickenham, or HQ.
France come first, on a Sunday afternoon. Italy follow the next Saturday. Scotland close the championship on its last day, when all three final games are played back to back and the title is often settled. England against Scotland is the oldest fixture in international rugby, and it is played for the Calcutta Cup.
Where to watch Six Nations at Twickenham
- The West Fan Village. The fan zone beside the stadium is for ticket holders only, and its security checks take time, so arrive well before kick-off if you want food and a drink there.
- A car-park picnic. Twickenham’s odd tradition is a picnic from the boot of a car, and the Cardinal Vaughan car park still hosts it. Turnstiles and bag checks now stand between it and the fan village.
- A pub in Richmond or Twickenham. Both towns fill hours before kick-off with fans with and without tickets, and stay full long after.
- Anywhere else in London. The matches are shown free-to-air on British television, so a pub with screens anywhere in the city works without a ticket. Book a table for the France or Scotland game.
Tickets and what it costs
The Rugby Football Union belongs to its member clubs, and its own rules send at least half the tickets for every international to them. Clubs buy their allocation in the late summer before the championship and pass seats on to members, which is why joining a local club is the surest route for anyone who lives in England.
What is left is sold to the public on England Rugby’s own ticketing site, when there is any. Its standard adult prices run from £93 to £207 for France and Scotland, depending on the seat category, and from £76 to £155 for Italy, which is the easier ticket. Junior seats are £37 and £15.
The official alternatives are packages: England Rugby Hospitality for a seat with lunch and drinks, and England Rugby Travel for a ticket with a hotel. Both cost much more, and both are genuine.

Getting there
Twickenham station, on South Western Railway trains from Waterloo, is the nearest, and the stadium is a walk north through the town from there.
From Richmond, on the District line and the Overground as well as trains from Waterloo, the union runs an electric shuttle bus from about three hours before kick-off until three hours after the final whistle. It costs £5 on the way there and nothing on the way back. Outbound it leaves from the A316, five to ten minutes’ walk from the station; after the match it goes from Rugby Road beside the stadium. A second shuttle runs from Hounslow East on the Piccadilly line.
Mistakes worth avoiding
Buying from a lookalike site
England Rugby has warned that englandrugby-tickets.com and eticketing-uk.com are not its sites. They use the rose and even link to the real one, and the tickets they sell are fake. Buy only from England Rugby’s own site or its two official partners.
Paying a resale site
Listing international tickets on resale sites breaks England Rugby’s ticket terms, and it cancels tickets it finds sold that way. A seat bought on one may not get you through the turnstile.
Arriving with luggage
Bags must be no bigger than A4 and every one is searched, and there is no left-luggage office. If the match falls on your travel day, leave the suitcase at the hotel first.
Leaving with everyone else
Eighty thousand people try to go home at once. Take the free shuttle back to Richmond or Hounslow East, or stay in town for a drink and let the crowd clear before you head for the station.
