How to watch the Women’s Six Nations on TV in France

The undercard acts of the men’s senior and under-20 tournaments are over, and it’s time for the main show — the Women’s Six Nations. Here’s how you can watch it on TV if you are in France.

Two-thirds of the 2026 Six Nations rugby season is complete. It’s old news, but France — Les Bleus — won the senior men’s tournament, while France’s Under-20s men’s squad — Les Bleuets — completed their second-ever Grand Slam in the Under-20s version of the competition.

Now, it’s the turn of France’s women’s squad — Les Bleues — to pick up the Championship mantle, and set out on a mission impossible (or is it?) to try to dethrone World Champions England.

New France coach François Ratier — with one eye on the next Women’s World Cup in Australia in 2029 — has selected a squad long on potential and short on experience for his first Six Nations.

Two more good things about the Women’s Six Nations; matches are spread around France, making it less Paris-centric, and tickets are still available for the home games, starting at €15.

But if you can’t get there, there is always the TV.

France Télévisions hold exclusive rights for the tournament, and will broadcast all France’s games on its main channels, which are free to air.

The other matches will be streamed on france.tv — which is free to access in France, although you will need to create a (free) account first.

France’s remaining home games this year are against Ireland at Stade Marcel Michelin in Clermont, and England at Stade Atlantique Bordeaux Métropole.
