2025 GUINNESS MEN'S SIX NATIONS RUGBY COVERAGE CONCLUDES THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 15, LIVE ON PEACOCK AS FOUR TEAMS REMAIN IN CONTENTION FOR CHAMPIONSHIP ON FINAL DAY
France, Ireland, England, and Scotland All Vying for Championship Defending Champion Ireland Face Italy This Saturday Live at 10:15 a.m. ET on Peacock; Encore Presentation at Noon ET on NBC France Can Clinch Championship with Bonus Point Win Over Scotland on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET Live on Peacock England Visit Wales on Saturday at 12:45 p.m. ET Live on Peacock with Championship Hopes Still Alive Studio Hosts: Alex Corbisiero, Brian Hightower Rugby Offerings Available to U.S. Commercial Establishments through Peacock Sports Pass STAMFORD, Conn. – March 13, 2025 – NBC Sports concludes coverage of the 2025 Guinness Men's Six Nations this weekend with final round matches of one of the world's oldest rugby championships live on Peacock this Saturday, March 15, as four teams' championship hopes are still mathematically alive heading into Super Saturday. At 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, France host Scotland live exclusively on Peacock with a chance to win its first Six Nations championship since 2022 after finishing as runners-up the previous two seasons. With a bonus point win (a win while scoring four tries or more) over Scotland, France would clinch the title – its seventh of the Six Nations era (beginning in 2000). Scotland's title hopes are still alive as well; as far as what Scotland itself can control, it must earn a bonus point win over France by 52 points or more, while also keeping France from scoring a bonus point. Earlier in the day, defending champion Ireland faces Italy at 10:15 a.m. ET live on Peacock, with a same-day encore presentation at Noon ET on NBC. If Ireland gets a bonus point win, and both France and England fail to win their respective matches, they would win their third consecutive Six Nations title and seventh of the Six Nations era. Ireland has already clinched the Triple Crown, which is awarded to England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales when one of those teams beats the other three. Later that day, England visits Wales at 12:45 p.m. ET live exclusively on Peacock. England has multiple scenarios in which it can clinch its first Six Nations title since 2020, but the simplest is earning a bonus-point win over Wales and France failing to beat Scotland.
