England's Six Nations matches to air exclusively on ITV

mirror.co.uk

The Six Nations rugby tournament will see a major change in broadcasting. Starting in 2029, all England matches will be shown on ITV, while the BBC will air only one match per round. This new deal means ITV will cover every England fixture, including away games. The BBC's previous arrangement allowed them to show more matches, but they are now losing ground in sports broadcasting. The Six Nations will remain on free-to-air television until 2029. The tournament concludes this year with a competitive "Super Saturday," where multiple teams still have a chance to win the title.
