Six Nations statement: Fixtures confirmed for 2025 men’s championship
By Liam Heagney
This weekend’s round four fixtures in the Guinness men's Six Nations will be the opening round of matches in the 2025 championship. Tournament officials have confirmed that next year’s competition will open in Paris next January with France hosting Wales in a Friday night fixture that will be followed on the Saturday by Scotland hosting Italy in Edinburgh and Ireland welcoming England to Dublin.
The January 31 clash versus the Welsh will see Les Bleus stage a Six Nations match in Paris for the first time since last year’s championship. Due to the upcoming Olympic Games in the French capital later this summer, the French have staged their championship matches this year in Marseille (versus Ireland) and Lille (against Italy), a tour that will end with next weekend’s visit of England to Lyon.
The final round next year on March 15 will see Ireland go to Rome to face Italy, Wales host England in Cardiff and France take on Scotland in Paris.
A statement read: “The 2025 Guinness men's Six Nations fixtures have been confirmed, with next year's championship starting in Paris under Friday night lights on January 31 with France returning to the Stade de France to host Wales.
“The opening round of fixtures will also see Scotland hosting Italy and England travelling to Dublin to face Ireland, both on Saturday, February 1.
“Five unpredictable and captivating rounds of elite sporting entertainment will culminate with Super Saturday on March 15, with back-to-back fixtures that could decide the 2025 title. Italy will host Ireland in Rome for the first game of the day followed by one of sport's biggest rivalries, Wales against England in Cardiff, before concluding in Paris when France plays Scotland.
“The Guinness men’s Six Nations is etched into the calendar of supporters every single year and continues to bring even more fans into the sport. In 2023, broadcast coverage alone drove 130million fans tuning in to watch the drama unfold, a +2.0m increase on the previous year.
"In 2024, the championship is being shown across 190 international markets, offering fans every opportunity to never miss a moment of the action.
“As per this year, the 2025 championship will see BBC and ITV sharing coverage in the UK, with S4C offering Welsh language options. France Television will be the home of the championship for French fans, RTE and Virgin Media will once again cover the games in Ireland.
"In Italy, Sky Italia will continue their coverage of the championship. The host broadcast coverage will also be complemented by widespread international broadcast coverage and a world feed service.”
Six Nations CEO Tom Harrison said: “The Guinness men’s Six Nations is one of the most anticipated sports events of any year, delivering blockbuster entertainment for fans all over the world. The championship never fails to deliver unpredictable excitement, bringing fans together for this annual feast of rugby.
“The next instalment of fixtures is always keenly anticipated by fans and alongside comprehensive broadcast plans, Six Nations fans can start looking forward to what is in store next year.”

Go to commentsIt was a cold February evening in 2025 when I realized I’d made a terrible mistake. I’d sunk 4 Bitcoin my entire crypto savings into what I thought was a promising investment opportunity I’d found through a flashy ad on X. The platform promised sky-high returns, and the testimonials seemed legit. But weeks passed, my dashboard showed no profits, and when I tried to withdraw, the site locked me out. My 4 BTC, worth a small fortune, was gone. I felt sick. Desperate, I turned to internet forums, posting about my ordeal in a crypto thread. That’s when i saw someone talked about Alpha Spy Nest Recovery, a name I’d never heard before. Skeptical but out of options, I messaged them. Within hours, a rep named Alex responded, asking for details: the site URL, transaction IDs, and screenshots I’d thankfully kept. He warned me it’d be tough, scammers were getting slicker but they’d try. Alpha Spy Nest wasn’t your typical recovery outfit. Alex explained they were a team of ex-hackers and blockchain sleuths who’d turned their skills to hunting down crypto crooks. They used forensic tools to trace my BTC through the blockchain, even as the scammers tried to launder it through mixers. Meanwhile, their web team dug into the fake site, finding it linked to a known scam ring operating out of Eastern Europe. Days later “Good news. We’ve got a lead.” Using a mix of legal pressure and some clever tech I didn’t fully understand, they’d tracked my coins to an exchange where the scammers had slipped up. Alpha Spy Nest coordinated with the exchange to freeze the funds, and after a nerve-wracking verification process, 3.8 BTC minus their fee hit . I stared at my screen, stunned. The relief was overwhelming. Alpha Spy Nest Recovery didn’t just save my money; they restored my faith in fighting back. I never thought I’d see that 4 Bitcoin again, but thanks to their grit and know-how, I did. Rest assured you can also try them out:Email: Alphaspynest@mail.com, whatsApp: +14159714490
