The Six Nations will remain on free-to-air TV until 2029 after striking a new deal in which ITV will broadcast all England matches. Despite fears that the championship would disappear behind a paywall, ITV and the BBC have brokered an arrangement to keep the annual tournament on terrestrial TV for the next four years.
As part of the new arrangement, ITV will have the rights to all five of England men’s matches and will show 10 fixtures a year. Under the current deal which ends after this year’s championship, the BBC shows all Wales and Scotland home fixtures, meaning they will screen Saturday’s clash between Wales and England.
