Six Nations predictions: stats you need to know 

To make good predictions on the Six Nations tournament, it is necessary to have in mind some specific data, firstly the format of the competition. You should know that the 2026 Six Nations tournament is still played over five days of competition, during which each selection faces each team once.

At the end of these five days of competition - between the end of January and the middle of March 2026 - the team that finishes at the top of the general ranking will be crowned winner of the Six Nations tournament, the unofficial equivalent of the European championship title. As a reminder, during the tournament, each victory earns 4 points, and a draw 1 point. An additional point can also be earned for an offensive bonus (4 tries scored), or a defensive bonus (loss of 7 points or less).

It is important to note that three of the countries play more home games than the others. England, Italy and Scotland all have three home games in the 2026 Six Nations with only two away fixtures. For France, Ireland and Wales, they have just two at home and three on the road.

Beyond the format of the competition, note also these figures, taken from the last edition. They could be of interest to you when placing your various sports bets on this Six Nations 2026:

  • Average points per game: 46 points
  • Average points difference: 9 points difference
  • Matches with 1-7 points difference: 66%
  • Matches with 8-14 points difference: 7%

This will undoubtedly allow you to make increasingly reliable rugby predictions on this famous Six Nations rugby tournament.

Six Nations 2026: the schedule of the England team

He’ll be pleased that his team ends with two home games after two consecutive away games.

  • Day 1: England - Wales
  • Day 2: Scotland - England

Winner's prediction: who do we expect to win the Six Nations in 2026?

Six Nations 2025 winner prediction

After Andy Farrell's Ireland won back-to-back tournaments in 2023 and 2024, France won the tournament in 2025. England, meanwhile, managed to come second, which bodes well for this year's tournament.

But France remain favourites for this tournament, with top-class players on every line. What's more, the coach of the XV de France can also count on the presence of Antoine Dupont this year, after Frence's number nine long absence.

For all these reasons, we advise you to bet on France winning the 2026 Six Nations tournament. Do you agree? Then don't hesitate to take your chances with the bookmakers!

Six Nations prediction: which team will win the 2026 tournament?

  • France - 1.50
  • England - 5.50
  • Ireland - 5.50
  • Scotland - 15.00
  • Wales - 101.00
