How to watch and stream

In the UK every Nations Championship match is on ITV, free to air, and live on ITVX, which is free with an ITVX account. A TV licence is needed to watch live TV, including live streams. ITV announces which of its channels carries each match in the week before it, so this guide says ITV and ITVX for every game rather than naming a channel that has not been confirmed.

Finals Weekend at Twickenham on 27, 28 and 29 November is also on ITV and ITVX; the pairings and kick-off times are added here when the Round 6 results decide them.
