How to watch the Six Nations
Free to air, as it should be. The championship is shared between BBC and ITV under the current rights deal, and S4C carries Welsh-language coverage of every Wales game. Which channel gets which match is confirmed nearer the tournament, and we’ll update this page when it is.
Where Wales stand
Honestly? Rebuilding. Wales took a third straight wooden spoon in 2026, but the final-day 31-17 win over Italy in Cardiff ended a 15-match championship losing run and gave the rebuild its first real result. The 2027 campaign starts in Paris, which is nobody’s idea of a gentle opener. Before that come the autumn Tests: our Wales fixtures and how-to-watch guide has the full rundown.
The history books lend some perspective: 39 championships including shared titles, and 12 Grand Slams, the most recent in 2019 under Warren Gatland. The last title came in 2021. Droughts this long are rare in Welsh rugby, and they’ve always ended.
