Wales rugby fixtures: Who the men’s and women’s teams are playing 2026

Your guide to confirmed Wales rugby fixtures, including the WXV Global Series, Six Nations, Nations Championship and Men’s Rugby World Cup. This guide to Wales rugby fixtures has all the information you need to watch the men’s and women’s teams in action in 2026 and 2027, including (where available) kick-off times and venue information. Both sides will be looking for improvement after disappointing results in recent years. Women’s head coach Sean Lynn heads into the Women WXV Global Series off the back of another Women’s Six Nations Wooden Spoon, and will be hoping that games against South Africa, the USA and Japan provide an opportunity for a much-needed win – especially with another Six Nations campaign just around the corner. Steve Tandy’s men, meanwhile, have at least banished the memory of a record-breaking losing streak, with wins over Japan, Italy and Fiji in the last 12 months. Men’s Wales rugby fixtures resume with home Nations Championship games against Japan, New Zealand and Australia, before they look to avoid a fourth successive Wooden Spoon in the Men’s Six Nations. At the end of 2027, they travel to Australia for a Men’s Rugby World Cup that kicks off with pool matches against Zimbabwe, Tonga and old rivals England. Below you’ll find every Wales rugby fixture currently confirmed. We also have comprehensive guides to England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and South Africa fixtures.
