Six Nations 2027 by Private Jet: the Access Guide

The 2027 Six Nations Championship: dates and history

Rugby union originated in England in the early 19th century: tradition traces its birth to Rugby School in 1823, before the sport was codified through the century. The first championship between nations, the Home Nations Championship, was held in 1883 and brought together four teams: England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. France joined in 1910, creating the Five Nations, and Italy in 2000, forming the Six Nations as we know it. Each team plays five matches, with the final round traditionally held on the same Saturday, "Super Saturday". According to the published official calendar, the 2027 edition opens on Friday 5 February with Ireland-England and closes on 13 March; the precise kick-off times remain to be reconfirmed as the event approaches.

The six host cities and their stadiums

Each nation hosts at an iconic stadium, all accessible by private jet. The table below places them.

Two stadiums have recently changed name: Twickenham became Allianz Stadium Twickenham in September 2024, and Murrayfield has been Scottish Gas Murrayfield since 2023.

Private jet access, city by city

This is where travelling by private jet makes full sense: each host city has at least one airport or terminal dedicated to business aviation, for fast boarding and flexible timings suited to match weekends. London offers the widest choice, with Farnborough, Biggin Hill (closest to the centre), Luton (open 24 hours) and London City; see our London airports and our London destination. For the Stade de France, Paris-Le Bourget, Europe's leading business airport, is about twenty minutes from Saint-Denis: see our Paris destination.

For the three other cities, access is just as direct: Edinburgh airport is about fifteen minutes from Murrayfield, Dublin airport has business aviation facilities near the Aviva Stadium, Cardiff airport serves the city-centre Principality Stadium, and Rome-Ciampino remains the traditional airport for Rome's business aviation, subject to slots.

Which jet, which access for the tournament?

The six tournament cities are linked by short flight times, on the order of one to two hours for most intra-European legs, to be confirmed with aircraft, weather and slots. A light to midsize jet suits these links. One point to note: London City has a steep approach reserved for certified aircraft, to be validated case by case. We are the ones who arrange the flights, slots and handling at each stop. To choose, browse our private jet fleet.
