American Odds
Ozoon prices rugby union for most of the year, from Test matches to the big club leagues in England, France, Ireland and the southern hemisphere.

The calendar barely stops. Club rugby runs from September to June, the Six Nations takes February and March, and the Nations Championship fills July and November.
| Competition | When | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Six Nations | February–March | France won 2026 with the last kick of the tournament, a Ramos penalty for 48-46 against England |
| Nations Championship | July and November; finals 27–29 Nov 2026 | Six European sides against six from the south; the tables decide the Twickenham finals pairings |
| European Champions Cup | October–May; final in Lyon, 22 May 2027 | Bordeaux-Bègles have won the last two; pool games often see rotated squads |
| Premiership Rugby | September–June | Northampton beat Exeter 26-17 in the final; no side has retained the title in seven seasons |
| Top 14 | September–June | Toulouse have won four in a row; home sides are very hard to beat |
| United Rugby Championship | September–June | Leinster beat the Bulls 36-7 to retain the title; long trips between Europe and South Africa |
| Super Rugby Pacific | February–June | More than eight tries a match in 2026; the Hurricanes beat the Chiefs 60-5 in the final |
For the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia (1 October–13 November), outright odds are on the Rugby Union Futures page. Canada are back after missing 2023 and have been drawn in Pool C with Argentina, Fiji and Spain.
The main markets work much like the ones you know from hockey and football. The differences are in the scoring, and they matter.
| Market | How it works | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Moneyline | Which team wins the match. | Draws happen in union (Northampton and Exeter drew 33-33 in September 2025), so check whether the market is two-way or includes the draw. |
| Handicap | The underdog gets a points start, usually ending in .5. | The key numbers are 3 (penalty), 5 (try) and 7 (converted try). The difference between -6.5 and -7.5 settles a lot of bets. |
| Totals | Combined points scored by both teams, over or under the line. | Check the weather first. A wet December pool game turns into a kicking match; a dry night in Wellington doesn't. |
| Tryscorer | First or anytime tryscorer on selected matches. | Hookers score plenty of tries from driving lineout mauls and are often priced longer than the wingers. |
| Match specials | Markets such as winning margin and total tries, where offered. | Useful when you expect a one-sided game but don't want to lay a big handicap. |
Bonus points are worth understanding before you bet a handicap. In most competitions a team earns one for scoring four tries and another for losing by seven or fewer. A side 12 points down late on will often kick a penalty to get within seven instead of chasing the game, and a favourite on three tries will keep attacking for the fourth.
Outright markets on the Six Nations, the Champions Cup, the domestic leagues and the World Cup are on the Rugby Union Futures page. They usually open well before the first round and stay up until the trophy is lifted.
Early prices lean on last season's finishing positions and the off-season signings. That's where the value tends to be, because form takes a few rounds to show. Exeter finished ninth in the Premiership in 2024-25 and were in the final a year later.
Your futures bet keeps the price you took, however the odds move afterwards. Extra time and kicking competitions count towards outright and "to lift the trophy" markets.
Live rugby odds cover the moneyline, handicap and total for the full 80 minutes. A try, a successful penalty or a yellow card moves the line straight away, and a yellow means ten minutes with fourteen players. Half-time is worth a second look: a team that has dominated territory without scoring often turns it into points after the break. Every match in play is on the live betting page, and pre-match and in-play bets come from the same CAD balance.
Most top-level rugby is played in Europe or the southern hemisphere, so kick-offs land at odd hours here. Times are approximate and shift by an hour around the daylight-saving changes.
| Competition | Eastern (ET) | Pacific (PT) |
|---|---|---|
| Premiership, Top 14, URC, Champions Cup (Saturday) | 8 a.m.–3 p.m. | 5 a.m.–noon |
| Same competitions (Friday night) | Around 3 p.m. | Around noon |
| Six Nations and November Tests | 9 a.m.–3 p.m. | 6 a.m.–noon |
| Super Rugby Pacific | 1–5 a.m. | 10 p.m.–2 a.m. (night before) |
| Rugby World Cup 2027 | Overnight to early morning | Late evening to early morning |
Looking for the NRL, Super League or the Rugby League World Cup instead? That's a different sport with its own markets, on the rugby league betting page.
It depends on the market. In a three-way match bet the draw is its own result, so bets on either team lose. On a half-point handicap there's no draw: a level score is a margin of zero and the bet settles on that.
Yes. The Rugby Union Futures page has outright markets for the major competitions, usually from well before the first round.
