What time do the Six Nations rugby fixtures kick off today? TV channels and live stream info

The 2022 Six Nations returns for round three with a mouthwatering set of fixtures following a fallow week.

After losing to Wales in Cardiff a fortnight ago, Scotland face a tricky task as they host France in Saturday's early kick-off, before Wayne Pivac's men face off against Eddie Jones' England at Twickenham the same evening.

Sunday sees Ireland take on Italy, as the hosts look to get back to winning ways after losing in Paris in the last round.

Here's what you need to know for round three of the 2022 Six Nations:

Kick-off times for Six Nations third round

Saturday, February 26

Scotland v France kicks off at 2.15pm in Edinburgh. Gregor Townsend's side will be looking to redeem themselves after falling to defeat against Wales, but they face an incredibly difficult challenge as they take on an unbeaten French side chasing an emphatic Grand Slam victory. Hamish Watson has been withdrawn from the fixture after returning a positive Covid test. The match is being broadcast live on BBC One, with coverage starting at 1.15pm. Viewers can also live stream coverage via the iPlayer, or follow live Scotland v France match updates via WalesOnline.

England v Wales fills the Saturday late afternoon kick-off slot, beginning at 4.45pm. This fixture is always one to get excited for, and this year is no different, with both coaches taking a gamble in their team selection. Wayne Pivac has dropped Louis Rees-Zammit from the squad while Taulupe Falateau and Josh Adams have been recalled, while Courtney Lawes also returns to captain the hosts. The match is being broadcast live on ITV1 from 4pm, while Welsh coverage on S4C starts from 1.45pm. Fans can also live stream via the ITV Hub or S4C Clic.

Coverage starts from 2.15pm on ITV1.
