Six Nations 2024: Fixtures, results, how to get tickets and more
Tadhg Beirne says Ireland are brimming with “massive belief” after launching their Guinness Six Nations title defence with a landmark demolition of pre-tournament favourites France.
Andy Farrell’s reigning Grand Slam champions made a statement of intent in Marseille with a stunning 38-17 bonus-point win to propel themselves into pole position for further championship glory.
England survived a scare at the Stadio Olimpico to launch their post-World Cup rebuild with a 27-24 victory over Italy in their Six Nations opener.
The final match of the opening weekend nearly saw one of the most remarkable comebacks in recent memory. Just after half-time Scotland led 27-0 and was all but assured. But that was before Wales launched a thrilling fightback, scoring 26 unanswered points to get within a whisker of an improbable victory. The visitors held on, however, and ended their Cardiff hoodoo 27-26.
When is the 2024 Six Nations?
The 2024 Six Nations got under way on Friday night – February 2, 2024 – as Ireland upset France in Marseille, before England and Scotland survived scares the following day to get their campaigns off to winning starts.
How to watch the 2024 Six Nations on TV
Fixtures this year will continue to be shown on both BBC and ITV in the UK. Live streams will be available for free on the BBC iPlayer and ITVX apps, and will be available to download on mobile or tablet devices.
The long-term future of the Six Nations on free-to-air TV is uncertain after the government rejected calls to add the tournament to the list of sporting events that must be shown for free.
