Red Roses put Allianz Stadium date in the diary for 2027

England Rugby have confirmed that the Red Roses’ 2027 Guinness Women’s Six Nations finale against France will take place at Allianz Stadium.

The fixture will take place on Saturday 15 May and kick-off will be at 16:45. In the two teams’ past five meetings, an average of just over 60 points have been scored.

“Games against France are always a competitive battle and that’s what makes it one of the most enjoyable games to play in,” Meg Jones, England captain, said.

“When you add the walk-in from the bus, the roar of the Allianz Stadium crowd and a sea of cowboy hats, it makes it an even more incredible occasion. It’s one we relish and are looking forward to.”

It has also been confirmed that the Red Roses’ Round 3 clash with Italy will be played at Franklin’s Gardens. The two teams played one another in Northampton in 2023, when England picked up a 68-5 win and Abby Dow scored four tries.

“Franklin’s Gardens is a hotbed for English rugby and we love playing there,” Helena Rowland, England and Loughborough Lightning back, said.

“You saw in the 2025 Rugby World Cup how amazing a place it is for women’s rugby and how much the fans embraced having a Red Roses match there.

“The crowd was absolutely electric that day, as it always is when we play there, and no doubt it will be the same against Italy next year.”

The Red Roses started their WXV Global Series campaign with a 48-15 win against Australia.

They will play Canada at Sandy Park on Saturday 19 September and have already sold 50,000 tickets for their WXV Global Series clash with the Black Ferns on Saturday 26 September.

The venue for England’s home fixture against Scotland in Round 2 will be announced at a later date.
