Hotels for Nations Championship: Scotland v Australia

Edinburgh hosts Scotland against Australia on Sunday 15 November 2026 — a Murrayfield meeting of two sides with a long history of close, dramatic Tests. Scotland against the Wallabies has produced last-kick finishes for decades, and a Sunday Test gives you the whole Edinburgh weekend first: the castle, the closes of the Old Town, Stockbridge's cafés and the galleries of the New Town, all in crisp November light.

Stay in the New Town or West End for the walk to Murrayfield and the best of the city on your doorstep, and book early — international weekends are among the busiest of Edinburgh's winter, and the Sunday kick-off stretches demand across two nights.

Scotland's national rugby stadium and the largest in the country, Murrayfield roars on international days and also hosts the biggest stadium concerts, set in Edinburgh's leafy western suburbs. The surrounding streets are calm and residential, with the historic city centre and its bars to the east. Trams run past the ground linking to the centre and airport, and Haymarket station is within walking distance. Staying centrally keeps Edinburgh's Old Town and nightlife close, with an easy tram or walk out to the match.
