Scotland Rugby Nations Series at Murrayfield

Taking place in October and November, Scotland Rugby Nations Series offer great entertainment for spectators.

Murrayfield is located an easy distance from the centre of Edinburgh, allowing fans to be quickly transported to the midst of the match day experience.

With entertainment before the match and world-class rugby during, Scotland Rugby Nations Series in Autumn afford a great chance to make memories during your time in the city.

For those staying in Edinburgh a little longer, October offers plenty of Halloween fun from ghost tours to the Edinburgh Dungeon. 

There are also lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the city's changing autumn colours, including the Royal Botanic Garden.

Visitors to the city at the end of November can join in the St Andrew’s Day celebrations (hopefully after a Scotland victory!) and explore the stunning Edinburgh Christmas markets, which open at the end of the month.

The Autumn Internationals are a great alternative to the 6 Nations competition, which is played every February and March.

Scotland at the Rugby World Cup 

The Rugby World Cup, which takes place every 4 years, will next be hosted by Australia from 1st October to 13th November 2027.

The 2027 tournament will be the first in which 24 international teams will compete for the coveted William Webb Ellis trophy.

The draw for the group stages will be made nearer the tournament and it will be exciting to see which teams Scotland will be facing!

Cheer the team on from home or join other supporters in Edinburgh to watch the matches together.
