The Six Nations Rugby 2025 men’s championship promises strong emotions from the very first match. On January 31, under the lights of the Stade de France, the hosts will face Wales in a duel that opens the competition. France will be looking to shine led by Antoine Dupont, the Olympic hero who led the French team to gold in rugby sevens at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

This year, the competition is not limited to trophies: the players are also looking to secure a place on the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia this summer, adding a layer of intensity to each clash.

IRELAND: NEW COACH

Reigning tournament champions and world number two ranked Ireland start the Six Nations with a strategic change. Simon Easterby takes the reins as coach, while Andy Farrell focuses on leading the Lions. This transition could be key in their performance against giants such as England, Scotland and France.

In total, 15 matches will define this year’s champion. Here is the complete schedule:
