Six Nations sweepstake.
A Six Nations sweepstake is the rugby calendar's tidiest office tradition — five rounds, six teams, one league table. SweepSquad runs a clean random draw across England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales, and gives everyone one place to look instead of a spreadsheet nobody opens.

Next championship: February 2027
The 2026 championship finished on 14 March 2026. The next Six Nations runs in February and March 2027 — six teams never change, so you can set the sweepstake up any time.
You keep the pot. SweepSquad never handles entry money.
Built for Six Nations
What makes a Six Nations sweepstake actually work.
Automatic results for rugby aren't wired up yet, so the organiser enters them. Everything else — the draw, the allocations, the leaderboard, the emails — happens on its own.
Six teams, one draw
Random allocation — perfect for teams of 6, 12 or 18 players.
Small field, no faff
Six competitors is the quickest sweepstake there is to set up, and everybody has something to shout about on every weekend.
One place to look
Standings, who holds which nation and who's paid in, all on a link you can put in the team chat.
How it works
From group chat to crowned winner in three steps.
Create the sweepstake
Pick a tournament, set entry, invite your colleagues with a single link. Two minutes, no spreadsheet.
Allocate teams fairly
Seed-banded random draw means nobody hoards the favourites. Everyone sees the result land in real time.
Watch it play out
Live leaderboard, standings and a winner email when it's done. You enter each result; everything downstream is automatic.
Throughout the tournament
A live leaderboard your team will actually check.
Standings and the still-in list update the moment a result goes in. The dashboard everyone refreshes on Monday morning — and again at lunch.
- Standings update the moment you enter a result.
- Knocked-out competitors are marked out and notified by email.
- The dashboard and the still-in list always agree.
