The Six Nations fixtures 2025 are – as they are in any year – set to be one of the highlights of the rugby calendar. Once again, the biggest sides in Europe will come together to compete for northern hemisphere supremacy, renewing rivalries that stretch back over 150 years.

The 2025 Six Nations fixtures kick off a little earlier than usual this year, with Warren Gatland’s Wales travelling to Paris on Friday 31 January to take on Fabien Galthié’s Bleus. It’s the curtain-raiser for a spectacular weekend of action, followed up by Scotland hosting Italy at Murrayfield, and Ireland (looking for their third championship win in a row) looking for victory over an England team that denied them a grand slam in 2024.

The Six Nations 2025 fixtures conclude on 15 March, aka Super Saturday, and the organisers have saved a blockbuster round of fixtures to wrap up the tournament – including England’s trip over the Severn Bridge to face Wales at the Principality Stadium. By then, we should have a better idea of who Andy Farrell is likely to pick for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia – as well as the identity of the next Six Nations champions.

Every one of the Six Nations fixtures 2025 will be available to watch for free for UK viewers via the BBC or ITV – scroll down to find out which broadcaster has the rights to each game.
