Six Nations TV Coverage – Six Nations Broadcasters
The BBC have had live coverage of the Six Nations since its inception.
In 2011 it was announced that the BBC’s coverage of the tournament on TV, radio and online, would be extended to 2017.
However, in 2016 it was announced that the BBC had renegotiated its deal and would start to share UK TV coverage of the Six Nations with ITV, for the next six years.
Under this deal all England, Ireland and Italy home matches will be live on ITV; all Wales, Scotland and France home matches will be live on BBC: all Wales matches live on S4C.
BBC Radio 5 live will continue live commentary of all matches, which will be available on the BBC Sport website.
