Six Nations champions will earn £6.5 million in 2025

Players in the Six Nations will receive significant payouts for the 2025 tournament. The winners will earn £6.5 million, while the runners-up will take home £3.5 million. Teams finishing third and fourth will receive £2.5 million and £2 million, respectively. The total prize fund for this year is estimated at £18 million. Teams finishing fifth will get £1.5 million, and the last-place team will receive £1 million. A Grand Slam Bonus of £1 million is available for any team that wins all five matches. England players previously earned £23,000 per international appearance, but a new deal has changed this. Key players now have contracts worth £160,000 a year, but only 17 players received these contracts, leading to pay disparities within the squad.
