Finals Weekend · Twickenham, 27–29 November

Three days of finals at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, with every pairing decided by the Round 6 results. The matches and kick-off times are added here the day they are confirmed. Every game is free on ITV and ITVX.

The nations

Every Nations Championship match is free to air in the UK on ITV, and streams live on ITVX with an ITVX account. Which ITV channel carries each game is confirmed by ITV in the week of the match; the Nations Championship TV guide lists every fixture by day with its UK kick-off time, and each match has its own how-to-watch page as kick-off approaches.

About the Nations Championship

The Nations Championship is the new November international competition that replaces the autumn internationals. Twelve nations take part: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy from the Six Nations, and New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Japan and Fiji from the southern hemisphere and the Pacific. Each northern nation plays three southern opponents across Rounds 4, 5 and 6 in November, home or away, after the southern nations' earlier rounds, and the standings decide the pairings for Finals Weekend at Twickenham on 27, 28 and 29 November.

This page holds every fixture with its UK kick-off time and venue, the result once a match is played, and how to watch, all checked against the official schedule. Team news, previews and reports for each game are published as stories under International Rugby.
