RFU could give green light to host Friday games in 2026Broadcasters favour option of playing on Friday nights
The Rugby Football Union would consider staging England matches during the Six Nations on Friday nights if it works for broadcasters amid a push from organisers for unions to show more flexibility on kick-off times.
This year’s Six Nations begins on Friday night with France hosting Wales at 9.15pm local time while Les Bleus were beaten by Ireland in an evening curtain-raiser in Marseille a year ago. England have never done so in the tournament’s history, however, with France and Wales the only nations to host Friday night matches since the first in 2009.
