Ladbrokes brings you the latest 2026 Six Nations odds, with France still the favourites for glory ahead of the final weekend.

Despite the defending champions' hopes of a Grand Slam triumph being shattered by Scotland's stunning win over them at Murrayfield, they remain favourites for the title but both the Scottish and Ireland still have a genuine chance ahead of Super Saturday.

Six Nations weekly predictions

Six Nations 2026 overview and favourites

Pre-tournament favourites France will likely secure the title if they beat England in the final game and therefore remain 1/6 favourites, but those odds are much longer than they previously were after their 50-40 loss to Scotland last weekend which ended hopes of the Grand Slam.

They are level on points with Scotland but with a far superior points difference, meaning a bonus-point win in Paris would guarantee them the title. Anything less and Scotland (7/1) could sneak in to claim their first Six Nations since 1999, but they will need to beat Ireland (6/1) in Dublin to have any chance.

The Irish are two points behind the leading pack, meaning they will need to beat Scotland and hope England can get a result against France to stand any chance.
