The southern terminus of the M6 is at Catthorpe in [[Leicestershire]], at junction 19 of the M1. At this point, southbound traffic joins either the M1 for Northampton and, ultimately, London, or the A14 which goes to Felixstowe in Suffolk via [[Cambridge]]. In the other direction, the road begins a westerly trajectory towards the Birmingham built-up area. Entering Warwickshire, junction 1 on the M6 is for the large town of Rugby. The next major settlement on the road is Coventry where, at junction 2, the M69 takes traffic towards Leicester and the A46 heads south west toward Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon.

At Coleshill, just east of Birmingham, is the junction for the M6 Toll, which bypasses Birmingham and the [[Black Country]] via [[Lichfield]] and [[Cannock]], and the M42 which takes traffic north toward Nottingham and the M1, and south towards [[Worcestershire]]. The road passes immediately north of central Birmingham, with both north and southbound traffic exiting for the city centre at the Gravely Hill interchange onto the A38(M) motorway. The M6 crosses into [[Staffordshire]] in the [[Perry Barr]] area of Birmingham, near which is Great Bar interchange (Junction 8), where traffic from either direction joins the M5 motorway which, via Worcester, joins the road with the South West of England.
