The Nations Championship November series starts Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, with Ireland v Argentina at 8:10pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), 3:10 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), according to Rugby Australia’s fixture list. England v New Zealand is Saturday, Nov. 21, at 2:10pm GMT, 9:10 a.m. ET and 6:10 a.m. Pacific Time (PT). Finals Weekend follows on Nov. 27 to 29 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, which Scottish Rugby also lists.

Rugby Australia prints its times in Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT). We converted them to GMT, the UK time after clocks went back on Oct. 25, and to U.S. Eastern and Pacific time. The U.S. clocks go back on Sunday, Nov. 1, so for every match below Eastern Time is 5 hours behind GMT and Pacific Time is 8 hours behind.

Where can I watch the Nations Championship?

Rugby Australia says Stan Sport shows every game in Australia. In the UK, BroadcastNow reported that Independent Television (ITV) and Scottish Television (STV) hold free-to-air rights; that is a trade report, not a broadcaster listing. A U.S. broadcaster was not yet announced in the sources we checked, so check your local listings.

For other UK sport on U.S. clocks, see the FA Cup first round kick-off times and the Carabao Cup fourth round schedule. The 5-hour gap to Eastern Time is explained in our guide to the UK and Europe clock change.

Is there a printable Nations Championship fixture list?

Yes. The one-page sheet lists all 18 November matches and the six Finals Weekend slots with GMT and Eastern kick-off times.
