Scotland's men and women's rugby teams have a busy year ahead
Scotland’s rugby fixtures mean a busy year for both the men’s and women’s teams – especially the latter, who’ll be travelling to England to contest the Women’s World Cup in August and September.
Scotland women secured their spot at the 2025 Rugby World Cup in last autumn’s WXV 2 tournament. But before kicking off their World Cup campaign against Wales, they have the small matter of a Six Nations (which, coincidentally, also starts with a game against the Welsh) to contend with. Can they improve on last year’s fourth-place?
The men are currently competing in the Six Nations 2025, and are hoping to bounce back from defeats to Ireland and England. Then, in a summer when many of Scotland’s best players are expected to travel to Australia with the British & Irish Lions, head coach Gregor Townsend will take his squad on tour to the southern hemisphere.
November’s Autumn Nations Series fixtures have also been confirmed. Townsend’s team will play four Tests, with the USA, New Zealand, Argentina and Tonga all making the trip to Edinburgh.
Read on to find out about the schedule for the men’s and women’s teams.
