The 2025 Six Nations Championship is set to captivate rugby enthusiasts from January 31 to March 15, 2025. The annual tournament, featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales, promises intense matchups and thrilling rugby action.
Ireland enters the tournament as the two-time reigning champions, aiming to defend their title under interim coach Simon Easterby, as Andy Farrell is on sabbatical for the British and Irish Lions tour.

The opening weekend’s clash between Ireland and England in Dublin is particularly anticipated, given the historic rivalry between the two nations.
As the tournament progresses, key fixtures such as England vs. France and Wales vs. Scotland are expected to be pivotal in determining the championship’s outcome. The final round, known as “Super Saturday,” promises a thrilling conclusion with all six teams in action, potentially deciding the tournament winner in dramatic fashion.
