Six Nations 2027 in Cardiff: Match-Day Travel for Wales v Ireland and Wales v England
Wales play two home games at the Principality Stadium in the 2027 Six Nations: Ireland on 20 February and England on 6 March. Both are among the busiest days of the year in Cardiff, with the city centre packed from late morning. Here is what to know about getting your group there and home.

What match day in Cardiff is like
On international days, roads around the stadium are usually closed for several hours either side of kick-off, and trains into Cardiff Central are extremely busy. Parking near the centre fills early and is expensive. After the final whistle, thousands of fans leave at once, and queues for trains and taxis can last well into the evening.
Travelling as a group
For a club, a works outing or a group of friends, a minibus with driver keeps everyone together and removes the question of who drives. Your driver drops you as close to the stadium as the closures allow and collects you from an agreed meeting point at a time that suits you, whether straight after the game or later in the evening.
- 16-seat minibus with driver: ideal for rugby clubs, stag and hen groups and corporate hospitality.
- Executive cars and people carriers: for smaller groups and guests.
- Pick-ups across South Wales and the South West: Newport, Bridgend, the valleys, Bristol, Bath and beyond.
Following Wales away
Heading to Paris or Rome? We run transfers to Cardiff, Bristol and Heathrow for your flights. Groups travelling to Murrayfield for Scotland v Wales can also ask us about a minibus to Edinburgh and back.
Book early
Match days are among the busiest days of the year for transport in Cardiff, and vehicles get booked well in advance. Because of the extra traffic and demand, match-day rates are higher than our standard prices, and your price is fixed once you book.
