MARCH
The Six Nations in Rome
The Guinness Six Nations is rugby union’s oldest and most celebrated international championship, contested every year from February to March by Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France. For six weekends the tournament grips Europe, and Italy — the Azzurri — bring the action to Rome, playing their home fixtures in front of a passionate, international crowd at the Stadio Olimpico.
A Six Nations Saturday in Rome is a spectacle in itself: anthems ringing around the Foro Italico, the crowd in blue, and 80 minutes of Test-match rugby against some of the sport’s greatest sides. It is one of the great days out on the European sporting calendar, and tickets to Italy’s home matches are among the most sought-after of the season.
Italy’s 2027 home fixtures at the Stadio Olimpico
Italy host three of the championship’s biggest names in Rome during the 2027 Six Nations. Browse each match and secure your date:
- Italy v Ireland — Saturday 13 February 2027, Stadio Olimpico.
- Italy v France — Saturday 6 March 2027, Stadio Olimpico.

Each fixture pits the Azzurri against a fellow Six Nations nation in front of a full house — Ireland and France among the world’s top-ranked teams, Wales one of the championship’s most decorated. Fans travel from across Europe and beyond for these matches.
Stadio Olimpico: the setting
The Stadio Olimpico, in the Foro Italico complex in northern Rome, is Italy’s national stadium and the home of Azzurri rugby. With a capacity of around 70,000 and a sweeping, open bowl, it delivers the atmosphere a Six Nations match deserves — and the surrounding Foro Italico, with its marble statues and riverside setting, makes for a memorable matchday.
The easiest way to arrive is by public transport: tram line 2 from Piazzale Flaminio to Piazza Mancini, then a short walk across the Tiber, or one of the many bus lines serving the area. Allow extra time before and after the match, as large crowds are expected.
