How to watch France vs Scotland: TV channel and live stream for Six Nations today
France will hope to clinch the Six Nations title when they host Scotland tonight.
Les Bleus are in pole position to claim their first championship since 2022 and only a second in the last 15 years on Super Saturday, having produced a dominant second-half display to crush defending champions Ireland in Dublin in the biggest game of the competition last weekend despite a serious injury to superstar captain Antoine Dupont.
Fabien Galthie's side know that a victory with a bonus point in Paris this evening would guarantee the title regardless of what happens elsewhere earlier in the day, while a win without a bonus would also surely be enough given their vastly superior points difference.
However, a shock failure to win could open the door to England or Ireland, who travel to face Wales and Italy respectively in earlier kick-offs.
Scotland aren't mathematically out of the title hunt themselves on the final day after holding off a spirited second-half fightback from Wales at Murrayfield in round four, but it would take a truly extraordinary sequence of events for them to claim a first championship in the Six Nations era.
TV channel: The final fixture on Six Nations Super Saturday is being televised live in the UK on ITV1 and STV, with coverage starting at 7:15pm GMT ahead of an 8pm kick-off.
Live stream: ITVX will also have a free live stream service online.

Bellamy's Wales make whirlwind impact by prioritising pride over patience
It was perhaps the best indicator of an unforgettable evening and, fortunately, even in defeat, there was a happy ending. The supporter who went tumbling from the upper tier to the lower tier as he celebrated Wales pulling level at 3-3 against Belgium on Monday, having trailed 3-0 after 27 minutes, was treated at hospital and got off lightly, the only lasting damage a minor broken bone in his back. 'Sore this morning, mind,' 29-year-old Scott Rees posted on social media. Another supporter, in Block B of the King Baudouin Stadium, saw his wallet gain wings after Brennan Johnson's headed equaliser. It was that kind of night in Brussels. It was a strange one, too, given it was hard for any of the 4,500 travelling supporters to be too downbeat despite ultimately losing the game 4-3, an unmarked Kevin De Bruyne bypassing Johnson to ghost in at the back post to snatch an 88th-minute winner. It was not a defeat without any ramifications – Wales are now second in Group J behind North Macedonia and Belgium will surely be favourites to qualify for the World Cup from here – but it was one where pride quickly trumped any disappointment. Stoke's Sorba Thomas perhaps put it best. 'They thought it was done,' said the winger. 'We showed the Welsh fight, the Welsh fire.' Advertisement Related: Craig Bellamy hails Wales's spirit after 'crazy' 4-3 defeat against Belgium Craig Bellamy was uncomfortable with his first defeat since taking charge almost 12 months ago being painted as a brave loss, but he was delighted with the way his players responded to Jérémy Doku, whose quick feet troubled Wales throughout, making it 3-0. 'I don't like losing, I understand the game but how you lose is more important,' said the Wales manager. 'Who are you as a person? Who is your team? I see that and I'm beyond proud. We're a good team.' As Ben Davies, the Wales captain who recently extended his stay at Tottenham, led his teammates towards the away end after the final whistle, Bellamy was engrossed in conversation with Romelu Lukaku, having enjoyed a word with De Bruyne and Doku. Bellamy did not divulge the details but said those conversations included Belgium's big-hitters acknowledging Wales's endearing approach when many would have considered it an exercise in damage limitation. This time last year Wales were fresh off a 4-0 pasting by Slovakia which ultimately cost Bellamy's predecessor and former teammate, Rob Page, his job. That was three days after an experimental side laboured to a 0-0 draw against Gibraltar, then 203rd in the Fifa rankings. It is impossible not to recognise the strides Wales have taken under Bellamy. Asked whether they were ahead of schedule on the eve of the Belgium game, the 45-year-old was keen to downplay the turnaround before eventually caving in. '[With] the speed of progress, yeah. I was trying to not but, of course,' he said. Advertisement Bellamy does not indulge in managerial cliche – just listen to his existential life advice on the eve of the game – and nor does he have time for buzzwords. He cuts to the chase. His record is now one slender, late defeat across 10 matches. 'I just think it shows, all the time we're always asking for time, asking to be patient, it's a process, blah, blah, blah,' he said. 'Get to work. That's it. Players are cleverer than you think. Players are good footballers. Let them be good footballers. Give them the tools. Work. Run. Press. React. Lose it, get it back.' The manager highlighted how both teams gained momentum from the opposition failing to absorb the setback of conceding penalties, both of which were questionable, the first against Johnson for handball and the second against Matz Sels, for colliding with Chris Mepham. Defeat in Belgium will not sit heavy on Bellamy or his players and they will aim to build on the wave of momentum generated by a promising start to qualifying. 'This is like a one-off opportunity for me, I'm only going to be the Wales manager for a short period and it's an honour,' Bellamy said. 'This was the one I always wanted to do so I'm going to enjoy every second. I read something in the Belgium media … 'Easy way to the USA?' There's a lot of life in this group and I saw a lot of life in this team. We ain't going anywhere. I will have a couple of weeks now of recharging. I'm beyond proud and just really excited about the future.'

Celtic confirm Kieran Tierney signing on free transfer from Arsenal
Celtic have announced the signing of Kieran Tierney on a free transfer when his Arsenal contract expires at the end of this month. The left-back has signed a five-year deal with Celtic, having previously come through their academy before leaving for Arsenal in 2019. The Athletic reported the deal on January 30, adding that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wanted Tierney to spend the rest of the 2024-25 season with the club to provide defensive cover and experience. Days earlier, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers had said the 28-year-old had 'definitely' agreed to re-join the Scottish champions. 'Everybody's known for a few months and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing,' Tierney said on rejoining his boyhood club, via the Celtic website. 'I spoke with the manager, and obviously I had worked with him before and I've always kept in touch with him. He's one of the best so I'm so lucky and grateful that he's given me the chance to come back again. Advertisement 'When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I'm definitely a different person. 'Player-wise, it's the same as I always say – I'll try and work my hardest, I'll do my best for the club and that's all I can do.' Tierney was free to discuss a summer move with clubs outside of England from January 1 after being told he would not be offered a new contract by Arsenal and that they would not be triggering a one-year extension option on his current contact. The left-back joined Arsenal in 2019 and won the FA Cup in 2020. He was a regular starter in the following two seasons but made only six league starts in 2022-23. Having slipped down the pecking order, he spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan in Spain with Real Sociedad, making 20 La Liga appearances. Tierney has won four Scottish Premiership titles, plus two Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups. He worked with Rodgers at Celtic during the manager's first stint in charge from 2016-19. Rodgers returned to Celtic Park in 2023.
