Watch all games live across RT and Virgin Media Television from Friday 4 February
RT and Virgin Media Television today announced details of its historic partnership to bring all of the 2022 Six Nations Rugby action, free-to-air for Irish sports fans. Starting on Friday 4 February with Ireland U-20's taking on France, coverage includes all matches from Ireland Men's, Women's and U-20s tournaments.
The partnership will see all matches in the Guinness Six Nations equally aired across both broadcasters, showcasing the agonies and ecstasies of Rugby's Greatest Championship. Ireland open the 2022 edition of the Championship on Saturday 5 February against reigning champions, Wales. Then on 26 March the Women's Six Nations begins with current title holders England taking on their age-old rivals Scotland.
Commenting, Dee Forbes, RT Director General said: There's always great excitement among sports fans at this time of the year about the start of the Six Nations Rugby action and more so this year with all three tournaments Men's, Women's and Under-20s being available, free-to-air, on RT and Virgin Media Ireland. We are delighted to have the Guinness Six Nations back on RT and we are looking forward to bringing great coverage and analysis of all three Championships to audiences across our services.
Paul Farrell, Virgin Media Television Managing Director said: This unique partnership puts sport and rugby fans first and we're delighted that this historic agreement ensures that the Six Nations Rugby, across Men's, Women's and Under 20s competitions will continue to be available to Irish audiences on free-to-Air Television .
RT 's comprehensive Six Nations Rugby coverage of all 45 matches across the three tournaments includes exclusive free-to-air matches on RT 2, RT Radio and RT Player, while RT .ie/Sport will have minute-by-minute match coverage alongside news, analysis and interviews and on @RTErugby.
Against The Head returns with the latest news and discussions on Monday nights on RT 2 and RT sport will bring fans closer to all things Six Nations on The RT Rugby Podcast. RT News will have the latest coverage around the Six Nations, including updates on the RT News Now app.
Virgin Media Television will broadcast live and exclusive coverage across Virgin Media One, Virgin Media Two, Virgin Media Sport and Virgin Media Player.
