About Six Nations 2027: Scotland v Italy

Scotland open their Six Nations 2027 at home to Italy at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday 6 February, the first of the tournament's Edinburgh weekends. Murrayfield sits just west of the centre, an easy tram ride from Princes Street, so a match day pairs naturally with the Old Town, the castle and Edinburgh's pubs and restaurants.

A Six Nations Saturday brings a huge crowd and a brilliant atmosphere to the capital, and rooms fill quickly. Stay central for the walk back into town after the game, and book early for the best choice. The compact centre keeps restaurants, bars and the Royal Mile within walking distance of your base.

History

Scotland begin their 2027 Six Nations at home to Italy at Murrayfield, known in recent years by its sponsored name of Scottish Gas Murrayfield, on the opening Saturday of the championship. The tournament traces its roots to the 19th-century Home Nations matches, becoming the Five Nations and then, with Italy's arrival in 2000, the Six Nations played today.

Murrayfield has been Scottish rugby's headquarters since 1925 and is the country's largest stadium, holding around 67,000, its great stands generating a famous wall of sound on a match day. The ground sits just west of the city centre, an easy tram ride from Princes Street, so a match pairs naturally with Edinburgh's Old Town, the castle and the pubs and restaurants of the capital.
