Six Nations champions and host nation England will kick the tenth edition of the tournament off. The Red Roses are up against the United States at the Stadium of Light in the opening clash of the tournament.

The 2025 Rugby World Cup will run until the final and Bronze Final on September 27th. Quarter-finals will take place across September 13-14th, followed by the semis on September 19th and 20th.
