After a stand-out 2014/15 season for Sale Sharks, Beaumont was called up to the England squad to play the Barbarians in May 2015. He started the match at number 8 and scored a try in a 73–12 demolition of the Barbarians side. Beaumont received his first call up to the senior England squad by new coach Eddie Jones on 13 January 2016 for the 2016 Six Nations. After missing the 2016 Six Nations and the 2016 summer tour of Australia due to injury, he was named in the provisional England squad for the 2016/17 season.
