Red Roses' 2023 Six Nations Home Venues Confirmed

Home venues for the Red Roses' 2023 Six Nations title defence have been confirmed, with Twickenham set to host France clash.

Next year's championship will again be played in its own six-week window from 25 March to 29 April.

Simon Middleton’s side take on Scotland at Kingston Park, the home of Newcastle Falcons on Saturday 25 March (KO 4:45pm) before hosting Italy at Franklin’s Gardens, Northampton on Sunday 2 April (KO 3pm).

In rounds three and four, the team travel to Wales (Saturday 15 April, KO 2:15pm) and Ireland (Saturday 22 April, KO 2:15pm) before hosting France at Twickenham on Saturday 29 April (KO 1pm) which will be the first standalone England Women’s fixture at the venue.

"To have a standalone Red Roses fixture at Twickenham Stadium is exciting and a real marker of where the game is at," said Middleton. "We know there are some big targets to sell-out the stadium at the 2025 World Cup and it’s great we have the opportunity to draw a big crowd two years out. Games against France are always great occasions and contests and I expect this one to be no different.

"It’ll be fantastic to take a game to the North East. The people of Newcastle and the wider region love their sport, are madly passionate and always get behind events in their area and hopefully this will be the same.

"Franklin’s Gardens did a brilliant job hosting our 2021 autumn international against New Zealand and we are incredibly excited to return to a real hotbed of rugby."
