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.

Days before the Club World Cup kicks off, fears over player welfare are being raised

(AP Photo/Martin Meissner) MIAMI (AP) — Days before the start of the Club World Cup, soccer chiefs are facing renewed calls to safeguard players over growing fears of injuries and burnout. The sport's global players union, FIFPRO, said Thursday there should be an immediate implementation of guaranteed four-week breaks for players during the offseason, as well as time off mid-season. Advertisement 'If we can all agree that health comes first, then we should take steps to implement these safeguards,' said Prof. Dr. Vincent Gouttebarge, FIFPRO Medical Director. FIFPRO has been critical of the extra workload placed on players as a result of tournaments like the Club World Cup, which kicks off in Miami on Saturday. The newly-expanded tournament involving 32 of the world's best teams has faced pushback since FIFA announced it would be added to an already saturated calendar. The month-long tournament will be played every four years, sandwiched in between the men's World Cup, European Championship and Copa America. Advertisement It is going ahead against the backdrop of legal challenges in Europe, strike threats and repeated concerns over players' mental and physical welfare due to the increased number of games. FIFA president Gianni Infantino this week said the competition was 'writing history.' 'For the first time in history, the 32 best clubs in the world will compete in a tournament to determine finally who is the best club in the world,' he said. But many players at the Club World Cup have entered the tournament on the back of a full regular season. Players such as Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha have headed to the Club World Cup just two weeks after winning the Champions League final, having also competed in the UEFA Nations League in between. Advertisement The tournament ends July 13. That is likely to pose a problem for teams like Manchester City or Chelsea if they play in the latter stages, with the Premier League season kicking off on August 16 and leaving little time to rest before beginning the preseason preparations. FIFPRO said it carried out scientific study involving 70 medical and performance experts to come up with '12 consensus-based' safeguards to protect players from from calendar congestion and excessive workload. It said international soccer lacked "standardized frameworks or regulations.' Among the safeguards it is calling for, FIFPRO wants two weeks in the offseason to be 'completely commitment free.' Advertisement It wants mid-season breaks to be mandatory. Many European leagues have a winter break, but the Premier League does not. It also wants a minimum four-week retraining period before players return to action after the offseason break. Other safeguards include protection for academy players under the age of 18 and 'travel fatigue management' to schedule rest periods after long-haul flights. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:

Jamie Chadwick Makes LMP2 Debut At Legendary 24 Hours Of Le Mans
Jamie Chadwick is set to make her highly anticipated debut this weekend at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking on one of the greatest challenges in motorsport. The British driver is no stranger to breaking new ground. In May 2025, Chadwick became the first woman to secure an overall victory in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) at the 4 Hours of Le Castellet, driving for IDEC Sport. She had already made history earlier by winning her LMP2 debut at the 4 Hours of Barcelona, becoming the first woman to win in that class within the series. In 2024, she also made headlines as the first woman to win an INDY NXT race on a road course, dominating Road America by leading every lap from pole position. For Chadwick, standing on the grid at Le Mans feels almost surreal. 'Honestly, excited,' she says with a grin. 'It's a bit of a pinch-me moment just to be here and competing. It's funny because you're initially just thrilled to arrive, you're laughing and soaking it all in. But then, quite quickly, you shift into performance mode. You're not satisfied with just being here, you want to get the best result possible.' Chadwick will compete with IDEC Sport in the LMP2 class at the 93rd running of the world's most prestigious endurance race. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is held at the historic Circuit de la Sarthe, near Le Mans, France, a demanding track that combines permanent racing sections with public roads. The race is a grueling test of both speed and stamina, requiring teams to not only push their machines to the limit but also carefully manage their drivers across the full day and night of racing. Teams at the 24 Hours of Le Mans must rotate through three drivers, with no individual allowed more than 14 hours behind the wheel. Stints can range anywhere from 45 minutes to four hours depending on strategy, weather, and race conditions. It is a format that demands as much focus on teamwork and endurance as outright pace. Chadwick's debut comes on the heels of a record-setting season in the European Le Mans Series, where she became the first woman to win an overall race in the championship's history. Those victories at Catalunya and Le Castellet, alongside teammates André Lotterer and Mathys Jaubert, have given the squad strong momentum heading into the 24-hour test. 'Obviously, really good momentum,' Chadwick says. 'Slightly unexpected in some regards for the two races, but at the same time, they were four-hour races in the ELMS. Now we come into a 24-hour race, a completely different challenge, a different beast. But we're excited. I think it's going to be a challenge in every sense. You can't make mistakes, no one can make mistakes, and that's one of the beauties of Le Mans.' The magnitude of Le Mans cannot be overstated. More than just speed, this race demands endurance, precision, and flawless teamwork over an entire day and night of running. Last year, IDEC Sport claimed its first-ever podium finish at Le Mans. This time, the team has its sights set even higher. 'Honestly, the goal is to try and finish the race, that's an achievement in itself here,' Chadwick admits. 'But yeah, for sure, you don't come to Le Mans without dreaming. I think we dream of being on that podium, and ultimately we dream of being on the top step. Whether that's a realistic goal or not, we need to reassess properly after 24 hours, but we're still going to aim high.' IDEC Sport's driver lineup is one of the most promising in the LMP2 field. Andre Lotterer, a three-time Le Mans winner, brings invaluable knowledge and experience, while Mathys Jaubert, a young French talent, has shown impressive pace. 'We're so lucky to have André joining us, he's got a wealth of experience. He's been incredibly valuable to the team already, but also valuable to us as drivers,' Chadwick says. 'He's as good as you're going to get around this track. And then Mathys is a teammate that I've raced with in other series, and he's great as well. A young guy, a bit of a diamond we've found, super fast. He's French, so it's kind of a local race for him in a way. Yeah, we're all excited to see what we can do.' Chadwick is quick to point out how different endurance racing is from the single-seater world where she built much of her career. 'It's a different experience, but I'm really enjoying it,' she says. 'So many things need to fall into place. Everyone needs to do their specific job within the team, and I think the combination of all that coming together is what ends up in a result. The feeling is almost even greater sometimes when we do get a result because it's such a team effort.' That collective spirit is what has drawn Chadwick into the endurance racing world. '24 hours, it's tough. It's tough on the mind, tough on the body,' she reflects. 'So there's an achievement in itself just getting through a lot of these events and these races, which is a very different kind of thing from what I've done before. But at the same time, it's a really cool experience to be a part of. It's very much a team game, and I really enjoy that bit.' As the 93rd running of Le Mans approaches, Chadwick's excitement is balanced by focus and determination. She knows that simply surviving the race is an accomplishment, but her sights are set higher. 'It's obviously very cool. It's a very special event, a special race. A bit of a dream come true to be able to debut and race this weekend,' she says. 'Incredible.' 24 Hours of Le Mans will begin on Saturday, June 14th at 4 p.m. local time in France, 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The 24-hour marathon will conclude on Sunday, June 15th at the same time.

Mental Toughness At Work: What Alcaraz's Epic Comeback Can Teach You
As a career coach and tennis lover, there's nothing more satisfying than exploring the mindset behind Carlos Alcaraz's unbelievable comeback to beat the 'unbeatable' Jannik Sinner in the Roland Garros final. All expected a battle on the court, but few predicted the mental war that would unfold. Down two sets and facing match points, Alcaraz turned a seemingly inevitable defeat into one of the most inspiring comebacks in tennis history. And in doing so, he offered a masterclass in mental toughness for every professional overwhelmed by high pressure, burnout, or career setbacks. The real problem with turning a defeat or a challenge into a possibility is your mental toughness. It's really hard to stay strong and confident when you're on your last points, about to win, like Sinner was. I've felt it myself. The moment your dream feels within reach can be just as overwhelming as the fear of losing it. That's when staying present becomes essential. Lose focus, and you risk losing everything. But it is even tougher to stay strong when you are about to lose your dream. Alcaraz showed is that staying strong when you're about to lose your dream is where true champions are made. He raised his fist in defiance to his team at 0-40. He called on the Paris crowd for noise. Then he hit a winner, and the momentum shifted. Alcaraz said, 'I think real champions are made in those situations when you deal with pressure, with those situations in the best way possible. That's what the real champions have done in their whole careers.' Here's how you can apply his mindset to your own career: When Alcaraz was behind, he didn't tell himself it was over. He reframed the situation: 'I believed in myself the whole match". If your job application was rejected or your pitch fell flat, don't conclude that you're not good enough. Ask: What's this teaching me? What's still possible? A setback isn't the end, it's just the beginning of a new lesson. Belief isn't blind optimism. It's a decision to keep showing up. Alcaraz didn't win because he was always confident, but because he acted with belief even when confidence wavered. That's how I got into coaching, believing I had something to offer, even before I had those certifications. I used every resource I had to take that first step, and the wins followed. So apply for the stretch role. Speak up in the meeting. Enroll in the course. Even if you're unsure, belief grows through action. Rather than letting pressure freeze him, Alcaraz used it to sharpen his focus. 'In those moments, I told myself: it's no time to be tired, no time to give up.' Stress can be good and bad at the same time. It can either paralyze or propel you. Learn to breathe through discomfort and ask: What's one thing I can control right now? That's where your power lies. When you're doubting yourself, lean on your strengths or past wins. Think of that time when you aced that presentation. Think of that time you recovered from a defeat. Alcaraz wasn't the only comeback story at Roland Garros. Coco Gauff, the American tennis star, also came from behind to beat world #1 Aryna Sabalenka in the women's singles. Inspired by Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas, Gauff wrote repeatedly on a piece of paper: 'I will win the French Open 2025.' She said, 'I've learned that it's impossible to prevent doubt from entering your mind, but it's not impossible to overcome.' You can train, give it your all, and still make mistakes. But as Gauff reminds us, you don't have to be perfect. You just have to keep playing the next ball. The mental toughness to belief in yourself even in the hardest time isn't a luxury, it's a career skill. When things look most uncertain, that's exactly when you need to reframe the story, anchor into belief, and keep showing up. As Alcaraz and Coco proved on the red clay of Paris, the match isn't over if the ball is still in play.
