Six Nations 2026: How to watch every match for FREE on TV and online

The 2026 Six Nations is underway at last, and a new multimillion pound broadcasting deal has ensured the tournament remains free-to-air in the UK.

However, a power reshuffle between its co-broadcasters has changed where fans must go to find each game.

Indeed, ITV is showing the majority of Men’s Six Nations games live throughout the duration of its deal, in place from 2026 to 2029, as well as broadcasting the brand new Nations Championships, a 12-team tournament which launches its first edition this summer.

As far as the rest of the action, one out of three matches in each round of the Six Nations will be broadcast on BBC One and streamed on BBC iPlayer as well as the BBC Sport website and app.

They include potential dark horses Scotland’s enticing trip to Italy in round one, the visit of holders France to new-look Wales in round two followed by Murrayfield in round four, plus round three’s showdown between the Scots and the Welsh in Cardiff.
