Watch all games live across RT and Virgin Media Television from Friday 3rd February
Coverage includes Ireland Men's, Women's and U-20s campaigns
RT and Virgin Media Television today announced details of its joint Guinness Six Nations' coverage, ensuring Irish sports fans get to watch every game of the world's greatest rugby tournament live and free to air.
Kicking off on Friday 3rd February, this year's Guinness Six Nations coverage will include all fixtures from Ireland Men's, Women's and U-20s tournaments. The partnership will see all games equally aired across both broadcasters again this year, for what promises to be an explosive Championship.
The 2023 edition of the Guinness Six Nations Championship will open with Ireland v Wales on Virgin Media One, followed by England v Scotland on RT 2. Ireland will then take on current champions France on Saturday 11th February. The TikTok Women's Six Nations will begin on Sunday 26th March with Wales v Ireland.
Speaking at this morning's launch at the Aviva Stadium, presenters Jacqui Hurley and Joe Molloy were joined on stage by members of their broadcast teams this year including pundits, RT 's Jamie Heaslip & Hannah Tyrrell and Rob Kearney, Fiona Hayes (Virgin Media Television).
RT announced today that Irish international and Munster player Simon Zebo will be joining their punditry team.
Commenting, Head of RT Sport, Declan McBennett said: With this being a great year for rugby, there is added excitement about this year's Six Nations which RT is once again bringing to sports fans all over the country free-to-air along with Virgin Media Ireland as part of our historic partnership which we launched last year. It's going to be a huge year for Irish rugby and we're really looking forward to it.
Mick McCaffrey, Virgin Media Television's Head of News and Sport said: We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with RT across the Men's, Women's and Under 20's Six Nations tournaments. The fantastic viewing figure across all three competitions last year shows there is a huge interest in Irish rugby and all games will be available for fans to watch free to air. With the Men's team looking to continue the momentum of their victories in the recent Autumn Internationals the stage is set for a really exciting tournament.
RT 's comprehensive Six Nations Rugby coverage of all 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.
