IRELAND’S 2027 SIX Nations schedule will start with a home game against England, and finish against France in Dublin.

The fixtures for the 2027 championship were confirmed this morning, with Ireland scheduled to play two Friday night games.

Andy Farrell’s team kick-off their campaign at home to England on Friday, 5 February, but then have three away games on the bounce.

In round two they travel to play Rome in Italy, before hitting the road again to play Wales in round three.

After the fallow week Ireland are away from home for the third game running, playing Scotland in Edinburgh in another Friday night game.

The final weekend of action sees Ireland host France at Aviva Stadium, the late game on Saturday, 13 March.
