🏉 Six Nations Shake-Up! 🏟️
Get ready for a big change, rugby fans! This year’s highly-anticipated Calcutta Cup clash between Scotland and England finds a new home on ITV. đź“ş Originally a BBC staple, this fixture’s channel swap comes after a fresh broadcast agreement between BBC and ITV.
England, led by Steve Borthwick, is riding high on their 12-match winning streak, including a massive 48-7 victory over Wales. They’re heading to Murrayfield as favourites, aiming to maintain their momentum against Scotland. Meanwhile, Gregor Townsend’s squad seeks redemption after a shaky start against Italy. 🏆
This shift in coverage means all of Scotland’s home games aren’t on BBC as usual. Viewers catching the action this Saturday might catch Final Score instead of live rugby! 🤔 But don’t worry, the tournament remains on free TV until 2029, keeping fans connected without a subscription.
The new arrangement also grants ITV exclusive access to games when Scotland or Wales host England. So, brace yourself for another dose of ITV action when Wales take on England next year. 🏴🏴
Despite missing a few Six Nations fixtures, BBC will still broadcast five matches—usually covering Scotland and Wales’ home games.
Mark your calendars from February 5th to March 14th and join in the thrill of this epic rugby championship. Who are you cheering for? Let us know in the comments! 🙌
