The 2026 Six Nations will see France, England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales fighting for the title of the best rugby-playing nation in the northern hemisphere.

France secured the Championship in 2025 as they won four of their five matches, but they were denied a Grand Slam as they slipped to a stunning loss to England at Twickenham. This year, the French will want to go one better, and they are they favourites to secure the crown in 2026.

You can see the latest Six Nations betting odds in the table below.

France are the side to beat at the 2026 Six Nations, with the nation winning the title in 2025 following four wins from a possible five, and they have started the new year in fine style.

The first week of the competition in 2026 saw France hammer Ireland 36-14 before Italy stunned Scotland in a rain-soaked 18-15 win. England then easily dismantled Wales in a 48-7 win, with this seeing the English move to the summit on points difference ahead of France. Italy follow with four points, Scotland are fourth with a point while Wales and Ireland are yet to secure a point.

The second round of fixtures will see Ireland host Italy in the earlier kick-off before Scotland host England. Wales then welcome France to the Principality Stadium.

This season, France are seen as the big favourites to secure the trophy, but England will have hopes of stunning the favourites.

Ireland and Scotland are next in the betting, but they did little to prove their trophy-lifting quality as they were both beaten on the opening weekend.

Italy may have beaten Scotland, but they are still a long way short of the head of the betting. Meanwhile, Wales are rank outsiders and will be many people's favourites to take the wooden spoon.

At the top of the ladder, this looks like it will be a shoot-out between France and England. The duo can beat any side in the world on their day, and will likely serve up some hugely entertaining meetings across the competition in 2026.

With their meeting in France forming the final match on the final weekend, could we have a Grand Slam decider all set up in a mouth-watering encounter?

France are the side to back ahead of the tournament, but can they secure the crown for a second consecutive year?
