6 Nations Betting Odds Explained
The Six Nations is a men’s rugby tournament which is played annually between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy, and France. Starting in February and running until mid-March, each nation plays five games with home-ground advantage changing every other year. All of the competing countries will be allocated Six Nations odds which represents the likelihood of them winning the competition.
What are Six Nations Betting Markets?
The Six Nations betting page here at talkSPORT BET has a plethora of markets available for you to bet on during the tournament. Here are some of the most popular Six Nations betting markets:
Outright Winner of the Six Nations
To win an outright bet on the winner of the Six Nations, you have to correctly choose the country that ends up winning the tournament.
The odds on any prospective winners will be higher and offer more value in the build-up to the tournament as no nation has proven its winning credentials yet. This can be seen in the latest Six Nations odds with Ireland the clear favourites to win a third-consecutive Six Nations crown in 2026.
Six Nations Top Tryscorer
To win an outright bet on the top tryscorer market, you need to correctly pick which player will end the competition having scored the most tries. In 2024, that honour belonged to Dan Sheehan (Ireland) and Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland), who both ended the tournament with five tries.
Unlike some of their southern hemisphere rivals who opt to grind a team down through set plays, the European way has typically been to keep ball in hand in a bid to cross the try line as often as possible. It is for this reason that the Six Nations' top tryscorer betting market is so popular as tries are a constant feature throughout the tournament.
Grand Slam Winner
For you to be successful in winning a Six Nations Grand Slam outright bet, you have to correctly select the country capable of winning all of their fixtures.
In 2023, Ireland managed to achieve the feat of becoming Grand Slam champions after making it five wins from five during their Six Nations campaign. Though Ireland retained the championship in 2024, they didn’t secure a second successive Grand Slam. They will be hoping for a better result at the 2026 Six Nations.

Who are the favourites to win in Six Nations?
France are the current favourites to win the 2026 Six Nations, available at 1/2* at talkSPORT BET.
Following the Autumn tests, Ireland find themselves second in the world rugby rankings, cementing their place as the top-ranked team in this year’s Six Nations. The Irish secured impressive wins against Argentina, Fiji, and Australia in November, signifying their intent ahead of the 2026 Six Nations.
Crucially, Ireland will face England and France at the Aviva Stadium in the 2026 Six Nations, hoping that home advantage will see them through in their two toughest fixtures of the series.
England have fallen to seventh in the world rankings, one place below Scotland in sixth. November 2024 defeats against New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa highlighted that England are far from their best right now. Given the strength of the Irish, it will be a big ask for Steve Borthwick’s team to win the Six Nations in 2026, which is reflected in their current price of 7/2*.
If Ireland fail to secure their third successive Six Nations title, France look the most likely of the other teams. In November, the French secured three home victories against Japan, New Zealand, and Argentina. Their 30-29 victory over the All Blacks in Paris featured a stirring comeback, earning their third straight victory over New Zealand.
All eyes of the rugby world will be on the Aviva Stadium for the 8th March fixture between Ireland and France. The winner may well go on to be crowned the Six Nations 2026 champions.
Rugby Union Betting
Before betting on the latest Six Nations Rugby Union Odds, it is always wise to read what the experts are predicting. This way, you won't be blindsided by betting on a team enduring a horrific run of form or an injury to a key player you were unaware of. When you have all the relevant information at hand, you can increase your chances of landing a successful bet.
Of course, it’s important to also emphasise that Six Nations betting is not an exact science either given that upsets do happen - irrespective of the overwhelming favourite odds being offered by the sportsbook. This is a universal phenomenon and applies to every sport.
Indeed, whether it’s the pre-match Rugby League betting markets pointing to what seems like a foregone conclusion or the recent Premier League odds suggesting a walkover, the recurring truth is that the favourites tag can go out the window when the action starts.
While they may not happen often, you're bound to make more responsible bets on the Six Nations when you keep in mind the possibility of a shock result taking place.
