The 2024 Six Nations takes place between Saturday 2nd February 2024 and Saturday 16th March 2024.

The 2024 Six Nations Championship will deliver another thrilling chapter in one of rugby union’s most historic tournaments. Featuring England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Italy, the annual competition will run from early February through mid-March 2024, with matches set to be played at iconic venues including Twickenham, the Stade de France, the Aviva Stadium, Murrayfield, the Principality Stadium and Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.

Ireland will enter the tournament as defending champions and are expected to be strong contenders once again, combining structured attack with disciplined defence. England will aim to build momentum under evolving leadership, while Scotland will look to continue their exciting, expansive style of play. France, among the most powerful sides in world rugby, will be determined to challenge for the title, and Italy will hope to further close the gap on the traditional heavyweights. Wales, meanwhile, will balance experience and youth during what promises to be a transitional period.

As always, the championship will feature intense rivalries — from the Calcutta Cup clash between England and Scotland to potential title-deciding encounters between Ireland and France. With passionate crowds and widespread television coverage across the UK and Europe, the 2024 tournament will once again highlight why the Six Nations is considered the pinnacle of northern hemisphere rugby.

It is currently sponsored by the Guinness, and also known as the Guinness Six Nations.

The BBC and ITV will once again share live coverage of the tournament.

ITV will air ten games while the other five are shown on the BBC.
