Nations Championship November Tickets: Best Matches

The dust has long settled on July’s Southern Hemisphere Series, however, the Northern Hemisphere Series kicks into gear in just under a month and Nations Championship November tickets are already disappearing fast.

Teams from the Northern Pool, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy, will take their turn to host three matches each against their counterparts from below the equator between Friday, 6 and Saturday, 21 November.

After that, the 2026 Nations Championship Finals follow at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, between November 27th and 29th, when the Hemisphere Pool Challenge concludes and the competition’s first-ever winners are crowned.

Official ticket allocations for the majority of matches have already been gobbled up, however, seats are still moving on the secondary market and at LiveRugbyTickets, you’ll find the internet’s largest selection of Nations Championship tickets for November’s fixtures, all of which are priced and listed by resellers.

Below, we delve into current demand to find out which Nations Championship tickets are proving the most popular and which games rank highest and lowest for ticket availability.

Nations Championship 2026: The best matches to attend

Scotland v New Zealand, Murrayfield, Saturday 7 November, 14:10

Scotland are a force to be reckoned with at Murrayfield and they will relish the opportunity to test themselves against New Zealand in what should be a captivating Series opener in Edinburgh.

Murrayfield will be packed to the rafters in November and every one of the 67,144 seats inside will be in demand as the game comes into full focus.

The Scots have never beaten the Kiwis before, however, their spirited Nations Championship showing against South Africa in July and their stunning triumph over Six Nations champions France early this year showed that Scotland have the potential to bloody the noses of fancied opponents.

Scotland vs New Zealand tickets are available to buy on our resellers marketplace right now, for prices starting at £140 for seats in the upper tier of the West Stand.

France v South Africa, Stade de France, Friday 13 November, 21:10

The Six Nations title holders against the world champions, France vs South Africa is a battle between international rugby union’s crème-de-le-crème and a fixture that jumps off the page in any setting.

With the game coming in the penultimate round of the Northern Hemisphere Series, the outcome of France’s clash with South Africa should have massive ramifications for the tournament as a whole, so fireworks are guaranteed.

If you’re travelling from the UK for this one, it’s worth reiterating that this is a Friday-night fixture in Paris, so staying over is a must. The real-time catalogue at LiveRugbyTickets is teeming with options for this one for every stand of the Stade de France.

Current prices for France vs South Africa Nations Championship tickets start as low as £57.16, though they won’t be around for long at those prices. We recommend acting fast if you’re interested in attending this showpiece showdown.

England v New Zealand, Twickenham, Saturday 21 November, 14:10

The last of England’s triple-headers at Twickenham in the Northern Pool Series is against the mighty All Blacks. This is the last opportunity for both teams to secure points ahead of the Finals, so expect tension to be high and the atmosphere to be spine tingling.

The fixture is a Saturday afternoon kick-off too, making it the easiest trip of the entire November window to plan for, though that in turn should heighten the scramble for tickets.

Official hospitality for the game has already sold out, while general admission options are also just about gone. Buying England vs New Zealand rugby tickets on our marketplace is easily the most realistic route left and current prices for seats for this one at the Allianz Stadium start at £215.

Ireland v South Africa, Aviva Stadium, Saturday 21 November, 17:40

Pre-tournament favourites and current world champions South Africa complete their mini-tour of Europe at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, where a formidable Ireland outfit lie in wait, ready to test the Springboks’ mettle.

This one will be played under the lights in the Irish capital, so if you’re looking for something iconic, atmospheric and top-class, this game ticks all the boxes. Ireland have won four of their last six meetings with South Africa, and they will strain every sinew in their attempts to topple the Springboks again.

This match is already listed as a sell out on official channels, though our customers have a second bash at securing rugby tickets for Ireland vs South Africa on our secure, resellers’ marketplace.

Nations Championship 2026: Which of November’s fixtures have the best ticket availability?

Not every Test in the Nations Championship’s autumn window will be a chaotic ticket scramble. There are still fixtures where tickets are a little easier to come by, especially for larger groups or supporters looking for multiple seats together.

Two games that fall into that category are England’s home matches against Australia on Sunday 8th (15:10) and Japan on Saturday, 14th (16:40). England vs Australia tickets and England vs Japan tickets are both listed on the LiveRugbyTicket’s marketplace, and both offer cheaper entry points than the more popular New Zealand fixture.

If you’re on the hunt for maximum value and availability, then Italy’s clash with Argentina on Saturday, 14th November at the picturesque Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Genoa should fit the bill. Nations Championship tickets for Italy vs Argentina start at just £25.90 on our platform, leaving you more wiggle room to absorb any extra travel expenses.

You can also buy tickets for Italy vs South Africa at the magnificent Allianz Stadium in Turin on Saturday, November 7th for prices starting at as little as £45.70. You rarely get to catch the world-champion Springboks live for that kind of price. Flights to Turin from the UK are similarly cheap if booked at the right time.

If you’re a casual fan and want to sample the Nations Championship without breaking the bank, then Japan’s fixtures are the ones to look out for. The Cherry Blossoms visit the Principality in Cardiff on Saturday, November 7th and availability for that contest is excellent. Wales vs Japan tickets range upwards from £55.96 on LiveRugbyTickets.

Alternatively, you could head further north to Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday, November 21st to see Japan in action against Scotland. There are 300+ tickets for Scotland vs Japan in our real-time inventory for that tussle, with lowest prices in the North/South lower tiers currently at £69.95.

In high demand: Finals Weekend (November 27th to 29th)

When the pool stage finishes, every one of the Nations Championship’s 12 competing teams will advance to Finals Weekend, which is played over two climactic days at Twickenham.

Every side has one more fixture to complete, with first from the north taking on first from the south, second taking on second and so on down to sixth versus sixth. The Grand Final itself caps the weekend at 16:40 GMT on Sunday.

The matchups for the six Finals fixtures won’t be confirmed until the night of November 21, which makes life awkward for anyone making plans, however, the joy of Finals Weekend is that tickets bought entitle attendees to TWO successive Nations Championship fixtures.

Friday Doubleheader Tickets for the Nations Championship at Twickenham are available to buy right now on our fully secure resellers marketplace for upwards of £104.85, while there is also decent ticket availability for the Nations Championship Finals Saturday Doubleheader and Sunday Doubleheader.

Any ticket bought for Sunday is a bet on the occasion and guarantees you a seat for the Grand Final, so expect those to be snapped up first. If the Championship goes to form, South Africa and France could meet in the final, which would make it a “match of the year” event.

Prices for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are likely to fluctuate when fixtures are finalised, based on who will be facing who. The most tantalising lineups will attract the most attention, so prepare to act fast to secure your seats when the schedule is set.
