Bet on the Six Nations Online

A February trip to Dublin can tell you rather more about a side than its autumn highlights reel. That is part of the appeal of Six Nations betting: five matches each, familiar opponents and little time to put a bad afternoon right. BetVictor’s rugby union betting covers the championship alongside other club and international fixtures, with available Six Nations odds for individual matches and the title race.

France enter 2027 having won the previous two championships. Their latest success came down to a Thomas Ramos penalty in a 48-46 victory over England, which tells you how little separated retaining the trophy from watching it go elsewhere. A title bet and a Grand Slam selection are different propositions, even when they concern the same team.

Six Nations 2027 Dates and Fixtures

Dublin gets the opening night this time. Ireland welcome England to the Aviva on Friday 5 February 2027, with a full championship still ahead of both sides when they take the field.

By Saturday 13 March, there will be nowhere left to recover dropped points. Italy host Wales, England take on Scotland and Ireland meet France on the last day. The final fixture could look very different in the title market by then.

Look through the venues as well as the opponents when studying Six Nations outright odds. England, Italy and Scotland get three home games in 2027. For France, Ireland and Wales it is two, leaving each with an extra away assignment to negotiate.

What Is the Six Nations?

You will see the same six names in the draw each year: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Everybody plays everybody once, which gives us 15 matches and a league table to settle the title. There is no final waiting at the end of it.

The Home Nations first played for the championship in 1883; France came in during 1910, then Italy joined in 2000. When comparing title counts, check the period covered. The modern Six Nations record begins with Italy’s arrival.

How Six Nations Points Work

Four points go into the table for a win, or two apiece when the score is level. There is also a point for scoring four tries, and one available to a losing team that finishes within seven points.

That means a losing afternoon need not be pointless. Score four tries and lose by six, for instance, and you leave with two bonuses. Win with four tries and you take five points, the most available from one match.

A clean sweep earns another three points for the Grand Slam. That extra award keeps a five-win team above a rival collecting bonuses. Where teams otherwise finish level, points difference comes first and tries scored is the next separator.

You may also hear talk of the Triple Crown. England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales can claim it by beating the other three, although results against France and Italy can still leave them short of the championship.

The Most Popular Six Nations Betting Markets

Open a fixture or outright listing to see the markets currently available. The choice can change nearer kick-off, particularly once the teams have been announced.

Match Winner

A three-way match result offers the home side, draw or away side. Ordinary match bets are normally settled over 80 minutes plus stoppage time; check the particular market rules before placing yours.

Imagine backing Ireland in a three-way market and watching them draw 24-24. The team selection has lost, because the draw was a separate outcome. With a draw-no-bet market, that same level score would return your stake.

Six Nations Outright Winner

An outright selection follows your team through the whole tournament. One poor result can lengthen the price, but a side with four wins may still take the trophy if results elsewhere help.

France’s title defence is an obvious starting point for the 2027 discussion. Ireland and England are familiar names in that conversation too, while Scotland’s fixtures deserve their own assessment.

Grand Slam and Wooden Spoon

France showed in 2026 that you can lift the trophy without winning every game. That is a championship success, but it would leave a Grand Slam bet on France unsuccessful. For that selection you need all five wins.

There is a similar distinction at the bottom. Wales beat Italy in their last 2026 fixture and still finished sixth. A last-place market and a bet on losing every match are therefore asking you different questions. Read the wording attached to the Wooden Spoon selection you are considering.

Handicap Betting

You can get the match winner right and still lose a handicap bet. Take England -10.5 against Wales: an England win by ten is too small, whereas a margin of 11 or more is enough.

The line matters, as does the number of outcomes. A whole-number handicap can finish exactly level after adjustment. Whether that brings a returned stake or a winning handicap-draw selection depends on the market, so check which version you have opened.

Over or Under Points

Add the two scores together for a total-points bet. If the line is 49.5, a 30-20 result gets an over selection home with 50 points. At 24-20 there are only 44, making under the winning choice.

A wet forecast might catch your attention, although it cannot answer everything about the total. Look at who is playing and who is taking the kicks too. A succession of penalties can keep a scoreboard moving even when neither attack is finding much space.

Try Scorer Betting

First try scorer concerns the player who scores the opening try. Anytime try scorer gives your selection the rest of the match to cross the line, under the rules of that market.

Check the announced side before choosing a player. A winger starting on the bench has a different opportunity from one selected to play from kick-off. Penalty tries and players who do not take the field can also have specific settlement terms.

Previous Six Nations Winners

France retained the championship in 2026, following their 2025 success. Both titles came without a Grand Slam. Wales’ last-day victory over Italy could not lift them out of sixth place in 2026.

How to Bet on the Six Nations Online with BetVictor

Sign in to BetVictor, or register and complete the required account checks if you are joining. From our sports betting site, open Rugby Union and find the available Six Nations fixtures or outright listings.

Once you have found the selection, click its odds and enter a stake. The slip will show the possible return. Give everything another read before confirming, especially the plus or minus sign if you are betting on a handicap. My Bets is where you can find an accepted wager afterwards.

Have a look at our offers page if you want to see the current promotions. Each has its own terms, including qualifying prices, deadlines and eligible markets. Check those before opting in; a reference to rugby does not settle whether your particular selection counts.

Six Nations Live Betting

A yellow card can leave a side defending with 14 players, while a change at fly-half may alter its kicking options. You can follow those changes alongside the live betting markets available for the game.

Before taking an in-play handicap, find out what period it covers. Some concern the full match; others deal with the action still to come. You need to know which score will count towards settling your selection.

What you are watching may also be behind the action, because pictures and score feeds can be delayed. Expect markets to suspend around scores or reviews. Read the price on the slip and stick to your original spending limit, whatever has happened on the pitch.
