Rugby World Cup 2023 radio coverage: Listen to every match live on radio and online
Your complete guide to listening to every Rugby World Cup 2023 match on the radio – including online streaming.
The Rugby World Cup returns to live radio with the fourth round of matches beamed over the airwaves from the action in France this week.
New Zealand's Pool A showdown with Italy is among the picks of the week as they sit level on points. An Italian triumph would mark an almighty shock and would blow the tournament wide open should it come to pass.
Elsewhere, Australia seek to claw back some pride against Portugal following their 40-6 humiliation at the hands of Wales, while Scotland are the only Home Nation in action this week as they face Romania.
For those unable to tune in live on TV, for those out and about, on the road, or wherever you might find yourself, BBC will have you covered.
All 48 matches in the Rugby World Cup 2023 will be broadcast live across BBC audio platforms.
No matter where you are, you'll be able to keep track of the RWC with wall-to-wall coverage set to launch the competition into the public conscience.
