The 2026 Men's Six Nations Championship (known as the Guinness Men's Six Nations for sponsorship reasons and branded as M6N) was a rugby union competition that took place from early February to mid-March 2026, featuring the men's national teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. It was the 132nd season of the competition (including its prior incarnations as the Home Nations Championship and the Five Nations Championship), and the 27th since it expanded to become the Six Nations Championship in 2000. It began on 5 February 2026 with a Thursday night match between France and Ireland, and ended with France against England on 14 March.

France entered the tournament as reigning champions, and secured a second successive title with the final kick of the final match, a penalty by the competition's top scorer, Thomas Ramos, easing France past England 48–46, and edging out repeat Triple Crown winners Ireland by two table points. Other notable results included Italy's first ever win over England, a record-breaking 50–40 victory for Scotland over France and the end of a 15-match losing streak in the championship by Wales, who beat Italy on the last day.
