How to watch Wales vs France: Six Nations TV channel and live stream today

France head across the Channel today to face Wales in the second match of their 2026 Six Nations campaign.

The two sides occupy opposite ends of the table ahead of their meeting at Millennium Stadium.

Wales were trounced by England in their tournament opener, coming away from Twickenham with a humbling 48-7 defeat.

Reigning champions France, meanwhile, put on a show at the tournament opener in Paris, dispatching Ireland 36-14.

They ran rampant in the first half, scoring 22 unanswered, but let their advantage slip as Ireland finally found a groove after the break.

Wales are in dire need of an unlikely win here, though, after they came away from last year’s tournament with the wooden spoon.

Speaking after the defeat by England, captain Dewi Lake said: "We let ourselves down and let people down.

“We spoke all week about what we were going to produce and we didn't do it.

"There's no other way to say it. We're massively disappointed with what we put on the field. We know we're going to be better next weekend.”

It remains to be seen whether Wales can deliver on that promise in front of the home support, though.

Here’s how to follow the action...
