What channel is France v England Six Nations 2026 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch France v England in a Six Nations 2026 match, including TV details and more.
The curtain will fall on the Six Nations 2026 in Paris, where title-hunting France host England on Saturday evening. After the first round of fixtures, many predicted the Championship would be decided in a straight shoot-out between the pair at Stade de France but the visitors have failed to hold up their end of the bargain. Steve Borthwick's side have imploded – losing to Scotland, Ireland, and Italy – to leave many questioning whether a regime change and squad overhaul are needed. A second consecutive Six Nations triumph is still within reach for France but with the winner of the early match between Ireland and Scotland set to move to the top of the table, the hosts will need to beat England, and likely claim a bonus point, to get their hands on the trophy. Super Saturday could be one of the great days in the tournament's modern history, and it should end with a dramatic finale under the lights in Paris.

England are aiming to build a head of steam in the Six Nations as they head to Murrayfield for a Calcutta Cup tussle with Scotland this weekend. Steve Borthwick's men confidently dispatched Wales 48-7, having led 29-0 in the first half, in their opener and will be keen to generate momentum.

Ireland are aiming to get their Six Nations campaign back on track when they host Italy at the Aviva Stadium this weekend. Andy Farrell's men were blown away by France in their opening match, suffering a 36-14 defeat in Paris, to dent ambitions of a big tournament for the Irish.

Italy versus Scotland in Rome has history stacked behind it as the teams prepare to duel at the Stadio Olimpico. This was the first ever Six Nations match-up in 2000 following Italy's ascension to the competition, and they ran out winners over the 1999 Five Nations champions Scotland. Italy repeated the feat the last time the sides met here in 2024 and another victory here could set the hosts on the path for a hugely successful tournament. Scotland coach Gregor Townsend knows he can't afford to lose many more games his side are expected to win following an inconsistent couple of years.

Six Nations 2026 predictions from six players who have played in it
How the tournament is going to go, from the stars who have seen it all before.
The Six Nations remains one of the most hotly contested annual sports tournaments in the world – and 2026 looks set to be another tight one as France seek to defend their title. Les Bleus won a narrow three-horse race by a single bonus point last year, but England, who just missed out on glory, haven't lost a game since their 2025 opener against Ireland a year ago. With the competition seeming to be closer than ever at the top, we turned to six former stars for their hottest predictions on how the tournament will pan out, including how their team will fare, their key players and potential breakout stars. RadioTimes.com brings you the expert predictions for the Six Nations 2026 from six players who have played in it. Six Nations 2026 predictions Ben Youngs (England) – "People will start recognising him as a world class winger." For The Love Of Rugby podcast England are probably favourites. There's been a real nice upward trend, an attacking philosophy on show while still keeping the sort of pragmatism you need at Test level. In environments like England, there's obviously an expectation. I've been there where you've had a few losses, but you never feel that far away, you just need momentum to turn those narrow losses into wins – that's what they've done. It was a shame the last Six Nations was ended for England. They got the wind in their sails, carried that form into Argentina and into the autumn. I'm really optimistic, there's a lot of reasons to be upbeat and positive. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has had injuries and not the consistency, but that guy is electric. He could get people on their feet and excited every time he touches the ball. He might be a real breakthrough and people will start recognising him as a world class winger. I think the Grand Slam will come down to the France game – a winner-takes-all in Paris. I'm going to back England to win it. Key match: France v England Alex Cuthbert (Wales) – "We'll score a lot of tries." Scrum V podcast Uncertainty seems to be the word at the moment off the field, but Wales have some experienced players back in the mix, certain players that may make a difference. It's still a very tall order. What we obviously want to achieve is to win the Six Nations but we are a long way off that. Louis Rees-Zammit is definitely our point of difference. He's our X-factor player, I'd love to see him at full-back. He's going to get a lot of touches of the ball and the player to push Wales forward. We've got a really good, exciting back three but Rees-Zammit is our main boy. It's all about showing progression from the autumn. There were green shoots in certain games, but the defence is a big thing. England are up first game. That's the one game we all want to play all season. We're definitely fighting to avoid that wooden spoon. We'll score a lot of tries and may sneak a couple of losing bonus points, which will hopefully be enough to be above Italy. But that's me being very optimistic. Key match: Wales v Italy Alan Quinlan (Ireland) – "They won't go in with that favourites tag." Off The Ball Ireland have been contenders for years. That's probably not the case this year. There is a bit of a negative feeling around the team. There are a lot of familiar faces in the squad, a lot of players on the wrong side of 30, but there's also still a very good core group. It is a unique situation where you lose your coach for most of the year with the British & Irish Lions, but Andy Farrell is very well respected and an inspirational figure, so the hope is that Ireland can find a bit of spark again. He's decided to keep a lot of the tried and trusted players in there with a belief he's going to get them performing at a high level again. Jamison Gibson Park is that cog that connects forwards and backs and when he plays really well, he can unlock defences, pick passes out. There's a bit of pressure off Ireland, they won't go in with that favourites tag. A minimum target is to finish third and win their home games. Anything less would be really disappointing. Key match: France v Ireland Jim Hamilton (Scotland) – "Better than it's ever been... but it needs to transfer into a tournament." The Rugby Pod I have been saying this is Scotland's year for the last few years because of the profile of the squad. If you look at some of the stuff that we're doing, it's better than it's ever been, in terms of the physicality, the attacking shape that we've got and the quality of athletes we are producing, but it just hasn't transferred to the tournament. [Gregor Townsend] will be the first to say it needs to transfer into a tournament now. We are bigger and better than just Finn Russell. Kyle Steyn, his dad was Nelson Mandela's personal bodyguard, is a world class player, the leading winger in Scotland, one of the best wingers in the northern hemisphere. He's struggled with injury, but he's back to his best now. We've always got one or two big games in us, but as the tournament shows, you've got to be better than one or two games. I could come back and eat my words but I am quietly confident. Third. Key match: Scotland v England Maggie Alphonsi (England) – "He's exciting to watch. He brings a lot of hype." ITV The general feeling based on how we performed in the autumn is positive. How can you not be? They've won 11 games on the bounce. When you talk to people, everyone's generally quite hopeful for how England can do going into the Six Nations. England didn't have an attacking structure, they lacked that attacking flair. Defensively, they adopted almost this South African style of rugby, which was to try and have this blitz defence. We didn't know what England's identity was, what was their style of rugby? Now it's quite clear: they're for contestable kicks, they've got some really good players who can win that ball back, and they look incredibly strong in various areas. They've got good squad depth, England's version of the bomb squad, which South Africa have. Henry Pollock is on the bench, blonde hair with a black hair band. He divides opinion, but he's exciting to watch. He brings a lot of hype. When you talk about players who come in to the second half to make a difference, he's going to be one. England finished second last year and they had all three home games. I'm going to put it out there and say they finish first. Key match: England v France Dan Biggar (Wales) – "Is he enough on his own to get Wales out of it? Absolutely not." ITV Wales are a bit of a mess off the field, going from one soap opera to another. And Wales haven't won a game in the Six Nations for two years – there has to be some progress. We have Steve Tandy and a new coaching group, but it's a really tough one for him. Louis Rees-Zammit gives Wales a focal point, an X-factor feeling when he's on the ball. When his name is on the team sheet, there's a little bit more confidence in the team and a bit of fear in the opposition. Is he enough on his own to get Wales out of it? Absolutely not. If Wales can avoid a third consecutive wooden spoon, beat Italy in Cardiff and not get blown away in games, that would be classed as an improvement. I'm disappointed the fixtures have fallen as they are with England away to start, then France at home. The Italy game has to be the one on Super Saturday. It's Wales' best chance of getting a victory in a shootout for fifth and sixth.

France enter their Six Nations title defence at the Stade de France with a potential do-or-die battle with Ireland that could shape the tournament to come. Les Bleus triumphed in a tight three-horse race last year and are expected to duel closely with England for glory in 2026. Every victory, every bonus point matters from the first to final kick of the competition. Antoine Dupont limped off with a ruptured ACL injury during this fixture last year and will return to the France side for the first time here. Ireland are less fancied this time around despite the return of coach Andy Farrell following British & Irish Lions duty last season, but at the very least they could prove kingmakers in a tussle between the French and English.

Who has won Six Nations most? Winners and Grand Slam champions
The full round-up of Six Nations champions and Grand Slam winners throughout the history of the competition.
The Six Nations is one of the most popular sporting tournaments on the continent, with major interest across the UK due to its free-to-air TV status. Of course, the competition has grown and morphed from just the four home nations locked in battle to Five Nations to Six Nations. But who is the most successful team of them all? RadioTimes.com brings you the round-up of Six Nations winners. Who has won the most championship titles? Prior to the 21st century, the Six Nations was the Five Nations, becoming six when Italy joined the competition for the 2000 tournament. The competition has taken on various guises and forms throughout its long history. Of the 129 tournaments, England have won the most outright championships with 29, and 10 shared wins (teams that ended level on points before 1994 shared the title). England – 29 outright wins, 10 shared. Wales – 28 outright wins, 11 shared. France – 19 outright wins, 8 shared. Ireland – 16 outright wins, 8 shared. Scotland – 14 outright wins, 8 shared. Italy – 0 outright wins, 0 shared. Who has won the most Six Nations titles? France are the most successful in the championship’s current iteration, having claimed seven Six Nations titles, including four Grand Slams – meaning they won every game in that year’s championship. England were previously the most successful with seven titles, but only two slams. Wales and Ireland have each won six editions, with four and three Grand Slams respectively. Scotland were the final Five Nations winners in 1999, but have yet to win the Six Nations. Their best finish is third, which they’ve finished in four times. Italy have never managed to win the Six Nations, either. Their highest finish of fourth came in 2013 after wins over France and Ireland. France – 7 wins (4 Grand Slams) England – 7 wins (2 Grand Slams) Wales – 6 wins (4 Grand Slams) Ireland – 6 wins (3 Grand Slams) Scotland – 0 wins (0 Grand Slams) Italy – 0 wins (0 Grand Slams) Check out more of our Sport coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

How do Six Nations bonus points work? Bonus points explained
Your guide to bonus points in the Six Nations, including why teams are awarded them and when they were introduced.
Fine margins dictate the winners of the Six Nations – just ask France. The reigning champions return to defend their crown in 2026 having sneaked into top spot by the barest of margins. France, England and Ireland each won four matches last year and lost one each. However, France ended top of the pile by virtue of bonus points, with England one point behind and Ireland two points off the top. But how? The Six Nations has had a bonus point system since 2017, having been prevalent in club competitions and other international tournaments previously. RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about the bonus points system for the Six Nations. How do Six Nations bonus points work? When a team scores four or more tries in a match, they earn a bonus point on top of the points they earn from the game. Another bonus point is also available if a team loses a match within seven points. Here's the full round-up of how Six Nations points work: Points Four points are awarded for a win. Two points are awarded for a draw. Zero points are awarded for a defeat. Bonus points One try bonus point is awarded for scoring four or more tries in a match. One losing bonus point is awarded for losing by seven or fewer points. Two bonus points can be earned if teams meet both of the criteria above. Using last year as an example, France won four matches with four or more tries in each, and lost one match by a single point. Therefore, they earned 16 points for victories, plus five bonus points. England won four matches but their clash with Scotland only yielded a single try, meaning they missed out on a crucial bonus point that would have drawn them level with France by that metric of success. When was the bonus point system introduced? Bonus points in rugby first made their official appearance New Zealand’s domestic competition the National Provincial Championship in 1995. The 2017 Six Nations was the first time that bonus points were used in the tournament. They had been avoided in the Six Nations because a team could win all five games, known as a Grand Slam, but lose out on the title if another team won four games with a bonus point and then lost one match by seven points or fewer, getting a losing bonus point. Organisers solved this by awarding any team that wins all five games an additional three points. This ensures that a Grand Slam winning team tops the table with at least 23 points. England’s last Six Nations title win, in 2020, was decided by a bonus point. A crucial penalty from Owen Farrell at the end of the game meant that despite losing 24-17 in Paris, it gave them a losing bonus point that proved to be the difference as they tied on points with France, beating them on points difference to win the title.

The Six Nations is a tournament for all. The competition transcends rugby and draws in casual viewers for an annual fix of the sport. If this is you, welcome! Of course, getting into a new sport can often be a complex business, so let's start with the basic logistics of a game. It is often unclear how long a game of rugby union can take, and it's not uncommon for a rugby game to last upwards of 120 minutes, including half-time, simply due to the vast number of stoppages throughout matches. RadioTimes.com brings you all the details to know about how long Six Nations matches last. How long is a rugby match? A typical game lasts for 80 minutes on the clock. While shorter than a football game in terms of match length, there are several factors that affect the length of a rugby game. Each half of rugby lasts 40 minutes. How long is half-time in a rugby match? Rugby halves last 40 minutes and are separated by a half-time break that is around 15 minutes long. The half-time break can last no longer than 15 minutes, giving players a chance to discuss tactics with their coaches and make tweaks. Do Six Nations matches have stoppage time? Unlike football, rugby matches don't have stoppage time. In rugby, the referee will stop the clock during intervals in play, including TMO checks, injuries and substitutions. This ensures the game is 80 minutes and loses no game time. However, the referee does not blow the whistle when the clock hits 80 minutes. The game continues and full-time only comes once the ball goes into touch. This gives the team with the ball when the clock hits 80 minutes a chance to finish their attacking chance. According to World Rugby, a half ends when the ball becomes dead after time has expired unless: A scrum, lineout or restart kick following a try or touchdown, awarded before time expired, has not been completed and the ball has not returned to open play. This includes when the scrum, lineout or restart kick is taken incorrectly. The referee awards a free-kick or penalty. A penalty is kicked into touch without the ball first being tapped and without the ball touching another player. A try has been scored, in which case the referee allows time for the conversion to be taken. Do Six Nations rugby games have extra time? There is no extra time in Six Nations games. If the two teams are tied when the game finishes, the match is ruled as a draw, with each side receiving two points for a draw.

Six Nations podcasters James Haskell and Mike Tindall talk landing Prince William and Princess Kate as guests on their show
Radio Times talks to the stars of The Good, the Bad & the Rugby.
It’s hardly enough for a line-out, and certainly not a scrum. But two big men joined by one smaller man is just the right amount for a very successful podcast. First broadcast in 2020, The Good, the Bad & the Rugby features former England rugby union internationals Mike Tindall and James Haskell, and journalist Alex Payne. Tindall, 47, a centre, was part of the 2003 World Cup-winning team. Haskell, 40, a flanker, famously played with a back injury in England’s 2016 Six Nations grand slam victory against France. Payne, 45, the smaller one, adeptly holds things together. It’s one of the world’s biggest rugby podcasts – the trio now sell out live tours and received the royal seal of approval when they recorded an episode with Princess Anne and the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle; something Tindall, who is married to the Princess Royal’s daughter Zara Phillips, called upon family connections to get. “That was special,” he says, when we talk. “Everything I hoped it would be.” Counterintuitively, the show’s success might be down to its comparative lack of rugby minutiae. “We’re not really interested in ruck laws and scrum laws,” says Tindall, “We’re interested in the people. This is a very masculine sport. "You have to be a warrior on the field, but you can’t ever show your pain. What we’re trying to do is show that people do have emotions, to peel back a few layers.” They do this by mixing emotional openness with dressing-room banter. “Some of us are more bombastic than others,” says Tindall, possibly thinking of Haskell, who arrives late as he has been at a “diversity and inclusion” session. “I learnt workplace banter is absolutely fine,” Haskell says. “As long as it’s not funny, directed at anybody, or says anything of any remote interest.” He’s jesting, I think, and so is Payne when he says, “Working with James for eight years has driven me to a therapist.” As Tindall points out: “James has seen a therapist since he was 17 years old, to try and maximise the best out of what he could do while he was playing, and that’s continued post-career.” Consequently, Haskell is very serious about the mental health of young men. “You’ve got guys like Andrew Tate, false prophets that people are now adhering to,” he says. “A lot of young men are left behind, not going to university, not doing the things that they should do.” Haskell quotes an unsettling statistic: “Male suicide is still up, and it’s still the biggest killer of men under 40. It’s something that’s got to be addressed.” Rugby union isn’t short of other issues to address. There’s turmoil at club level, a continuing debate about concussion and the shadow of Motor Neurone Disease. That condition claimed the life of Scotland’s Doddie Weir (and rugby league’s Rob Burrow) and there have been more recent diagnoses for union’s Ed Slater and Lewis Moody, although Tindall says we shouldn’t presume it was caused by playing rugby. “It isn’t as simple as hits and concussive blows,” he says. “I think we spend a lot of time in rugby telling negative stories, but what’s special about rugby is, if it does happen to one of our own, the sport rallies around people that have been affected and the community comes together.” In 2023 the trio launched the award-winning Blackeye Gin, through which, says Payne, “We’re trying to raise a million quid a year for injured rugby players.” But it’s former players’ mental health issues, often after their international careers, that feature regularly on the podcast. Joe Marler, a guest star on the show, has been public about his own struggles. Now, Marler is admired by millions after his tenure on Celebrity Traitors. Payne is pleased, but also frustrated by the game’s failure to make the most of such an asset in an age where young fans follow players rather than teams. “It’s sad that a character as big as Joe Marler has had to go on The Traitors to unlock his full potential,” he says. “Rugby cuts off its tallest poppies, and that’s something that it needs to address if it wants to get some of that high-profile exposure.” High-profile exposure isn’t always positive. Haskell recalls a festival last year where he made a joke about his divorce from Chloe Madeley (daughter of TV hosts Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan): “‘If I put as much effort into my marriage as I did into finding the perfect pint of Guinness, I’d still be married.’ That was reported as, ‘James Haskell admits his drinking problem got in the way…’” If happiness requires self-awareness, Haskell appears to be going the right way. “With entertainment and fun, you can often become the worst version of yourself to sell that amusement,” he says. “But there’s a real depth to what we do, that’s why the podcast has lasted so long.” But hang on, we haven’t talked about the rugby – which home nation can win, England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland? “It’ll come down to a grand-slam game at the end between England and France,” says Tindall. “Well, I won’t bet my house on England,” says Payne. Haskell shakes his head: “England are brilliant, they will win the grand slam.” But then, he would say that, wouldn’t he?

What channel is France v Scotland Six Nations 2025 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch France v Scotland in a Six Nations 2025 match, including TV details and more.
France may enter their clash with Scotland as Six Nations 2025 champions before a ball is thrown at the Stade de France – but this tournament is rarely that simple. Les Bleus lead Ireland by two points and England by just one going into Super Saturday, with a far superior points difference to boot. The equation is fairly simple for France: win. Victory would be enough to guarantee finishing above Ireland, regardless of their result in Rome, and it would secure the trophy if England fail to notch up an extraordinary blow-out victory to overturn a minimum +86 points difference swing. However, should they lose, one of Ireland or England would only need to win their respective match to seize the crown. Antoine Dupont is injured for France, but Louis Bielle-Biarrey's terrific form still offers France plenty of hope they'll get the job done without much of a fuss. But remember, this is live sport.

Check out how to watch Wales v England in a Six Nations 2025 match, including TV details and more.
England enter Super Saturday with a very clear task in their mind: beat Wales in Cardiff. Steve Borthwick's men start the final round of matches one point adrift of table-topping France, despite beating Les Bleus by a single point earlier in the competition. Essentially, England must beat Wales with a bonus point to stand a realistic chance of lifting the trophy. Even if they do so, they are still relying on Scotland to break Parisian hearts in the French capital in the evening. Wales are scrambling to avoid back-to-back wooden spoons and extending their 16-game winless run into the summer.

Check out how to watch Italy v Ireland in a Six Nations 2025 match, including TV details and more.
Ireland travel to face Italy in Rome on Super Saturday knowing their title defence looks increasingly destined to fail. Simon Easterby's men set the pace in the tournament but were delivered a crushing blow against France last time out. They start the day in third, two points adrift of France with a far inferior points difference. Ireland will likely need to beat Italy with a bonus point to keep their hopes alive. If they do so, they must hope England fail to record a bonus-point victory over Wales and France lose to Scotland. Italy are fighting to avoid the wooden spoon and would guarantee a finish of fifth or higher should they spring an almighty surprise at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend.

How can England win the Six Nations 2025? Permutations explained
We explain how England can win the Six Nations 2025 this weekend.
The Six Nations all boils down to Super Saturday once again. It's a huge occasion for three teams, each of them involved in a different match across the continent. There's a real chance three teams will occupy first-place throughout the course of the day. First, Ireland face Italy. Victory for the reigning champions would place them top of the pack, before England travel to face Wales in Cardiff. Victory for England would likely place them in pole position. In the evening, it's France's date with destiny. Regardless of any other results on the day, a bonus-point win against Scotland would be enough guarantee the title on home soil in Paris. England remain in an unlikely hunt for glory, but how can they lift the trophy by Saturday evening? RadioTimes.com has rounded up all the ways England could win the Six Nations this weekend. Read more: Six Nations TV schedule | Six Nations fixtures and results | Six Nations this weekend | Six Nations radio coverage | Six Nations presenters, pundits and commentators How can England win the Six Nations? England's task is clear: win. If England lose to Wales, it's game over, regardless of the scoreline in Paris on the night. The crown would likely go to France, unless a remarkable turn of results saw Ireland leapfrog the French. If England beat Wales without a bonus point, France would only need a win by any margin to clinch the title. If England beat Wales with a bonus point, France would need a win to tie, or a bonus-point win to clinch the title. However, France boast a +86 points difference advantage over England. Even if England win with a bonus point and France win without a bonus point, France would likely still claim the title barring a record margin of victory for England in Wales. If England beat Wales without a bonus point and France lose to Scotland, Ireland could still win the trophy with a bonus-point win over Italy. In brushstroke terms, England must beat Wales with a bonus point and France must lose to Scotland to guarantee the trophy, regardless of the Irish result.
