Principality Stadium – The Home of Wales Six Nations 2026 Fixtures

The Principality Stadium, formerly known as the Millennium Stadium, is home to Wales’ national rugby union team.

Rugby is Wales’ national game, and, as anyone entering the Principality Stadium in Cardiff will know, it is taken extremely seriously.

Wales and Scotland have faced each other in 131 test matches since their first meeting in 1883, with Wales winning 75 of those encounters. In recent years, this matchup has been fiercely contested, with both sides sharing victories.

In the 2025 Six Nations Championship, Wales played two home matches – England and Ireland. Wales finished in sixth place, securing no wins within the Championship. Although there was promising progress midway through, against Ireland at home under the new interim coach Matt Sherratt. Wales will be going into the 2026 Six Nations Championship with much to prove. As a passionate rugby nation, it will be a momentous come back to witness. Fans can expect there to be no shortage of drama and intensity at Principality Stadium.

Wales’ biggest ever Six Nations win was against Italy in 2016, where they defeated their European rivals 67-14. 2020 was no different as they dominated once more, defeating Parisse’s men 26-15 to add another win to the scoreboard.

The renowned Principality Stadium was initially built for the 1999 Rugby World Cup but has diversified to include many other large-scale events, including Welsh international football matches. Principality Stadium opened in June that year, with Wales’ first home fixture being a friendly against South Africa, which Wales won 29-19 before a test crowd of 29,000.

With a total seating capacity of 74,500, Principality Stadium is the fifth-largest stadium in the Six Nations Championship behind the Stade de France, Twickenham, Stadium Australia and the FNB Stadium in South Africa. Principality Stadium is also the second-largest stadium in the world, with a fully retractable roof.

The Visit Cardiff visitor and tourism website describes the thrill thus – “Explore the magnificent Principality Stadium, one of the most impressive icons of modern Wales. Discover the 2012 Olympic football dressing room and experience the atmosphere before a match in the Dragon’s Lair, Wales’ rugby team dressing room.

Principality Stadium, the National Stadium of Wales in the heart of Cardiff, is a stadium that captivates an entire population, making us believe. It represents Wales’ collective spirit, and reminds us what we can achieve when we come together. Unquestionably, it is one of the country’s most important and iconic buildings, a symbol of 21st century Wales and part of what they called ‘Cool Cymru’.”

“It’s our stadium, our coliseum and for many of us here in Wales, a place of worship. Supporters travel from all four corners of the country to see their heroes in the flesh and to feel the warmth of the flames on their painted faces.

It’s a modern day pilgrimage, the chance to hear the roar of the crowd singing ‘Gwlad, Gwlad!’ (‘Country, Country!’) in the National anthem. This is one of the legendary wonders of Wales.

And that’s just a taste of all the rugby action as Wales runs out on a big Six Nations occasion.

The name change came about due to a partnership between the Welsh Rugby Union and the Principality Building Society, a company’s 10-year investment commitment in Welsh rugby.

At the official handover in 2016, WRU chairman Gareth Davies pledged it was the start of a new era.

He said: “Principality stadium has been in situ for the last 16 years and has hosted more than seven million rugby supporters in 110 matches involving Wales.

“There have been some other significant events such as FA cup finals, rugby league finals, world boxing fights and some fantastic concerts. We are delighted to go into the next era of development.

“This new partnership is a boost for all levels of Welsh rugby, with reinvestment in rugby communities and individuals who dedicate so much of their time, energy and passion to the sport. The partnership is also a key factor in our vision to encourage more people to engage with rugby, more often, providing more enjoyment and success on the field.”

Principality has been in a working partnership with the WRU since 1969.

Graeme Yorston, group chief executive, declared proudly: “We’re very conscious that we try to give back to our members as a member-owned business. The whole of Wales can share in this relationship and partnership.”

Former Welsh Head Coach Warren Gatland noted: “The national stadium is a special place for everyone involved in Welsh rugby. I’ve said it before, but the stadium is simply the best rugby stadium in the world.

“The partnership with Principality Building Society will benefit the whole game from grassroots right through to the elite.”

Principality Stadium actively generates more than £135 million for the local economy each year.

It is a must experience for every rugby fan wherever they are from and whoever they support. Secure your Six Nations hospitality packages for Principality Stadium today!
