While rugby union may not be the biggest sport in the United States, with thousands upon thousands of expats from the likes of Ireland, Scotland and England, it’s no wonder the sport is growing.
There’s no finer rugby tournament than the Six Nations, certainly not scheduled yearly, and once again come February it’ll be capturing the imaginations of more and more of us as we call time on the NFL season.
Ireland will be keen to defend their championship crown, and you really won’t want to miss a minute. So, if you’re keen to stream the Six Nations 2024, here’s all the info you need…
When is the Six Nations?
The Six Nations runs this year from February 2, 2024 through until March 16, with a total of 15 games across five rounds. There are three games per round, usually played across Saturday and Sunday. However, the Six Nations opener between France and 2023 champions Ireland takes place on a Friday at the Stade de France.
The tournament is played in a league format, with no knockout phase. The team placed at the top of the table at the end of the competition wins the Six Nations.
