Six Nations

The 2025 Six Nations Championship (known as the Guinness Men's Six Nations) is a rugby competition scheduled to take place between January and March 2025, featuring the men's national teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. It is the 131st season of the competition, but the 26th since it expanded to become the Six Nations Championship in 2000. It is scheduled to start on 31 January 2025 with a Friday night match between France and Wales, and to end with France against Scotland on 15 March. Ireland will enter the tournament as two-time reigning champions. France will return to their normal venue, the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, after a year away while the stadium was being prepared for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
