Part of our Taxi transfers from Edinburgh Airport to popular destinations guide
Quick answer
Scotland play three home Six Nations matches at Scottish Gas Murrayfield in 2027: Italy on Saturday 6 February, Wales on Saturday 13 February and Ireland on Friday 5 March. Roads around the stadium close from 3 hours before to 4 hours after kick-off, so the best plan is a pre-booked transfer from Edinburgh Airport to your hotel, then the tram to the stadium. RTransfer drives airport to city centre for a fixed £48 per car and £60 for a 6-seat people carrier.

Match day: roads, tram and bags
- Road closures: resident-only zones apply around the stadium from 3 hours before to 4 hours after kick-off, Roseburn Street closes, and after the match the A8 closes from Ellersly Road to Haymarket.
- Tram: not affected by the closures, with a dedicated Murrayfield Stadium stop next to the Roseburn Street entrance. The same tram line runs to the airport.
- Walking: about 15 minutes from Haymarket station.
- Bags: only small bags up to A4 size, and there is no bag drop, so drop your luggage at the hotel first.
The easy plan for rugby weekends
- Arrive the day before if you can. Book an RTransfer car from the airport to your hotel: £48 to the city centre for up to 4, or £60 for a 6-seat people carrier and £85 for a minibus for up to 8 (group transfers).
- Take the tram to the game, leaving cases at the hotel.
- Book your ride back to the airport for the next day, or for after the closures lift. Returns booked together save 10%.
