The fixtures for both the 2018 and 2019 Six Nations Championships have been announced.
Rugby’s Greatest Championship will take place over seven weekends in 2018, beginning on Saturday 3rd February and finishing with a Championship ‘Super Saturday’ on March 17. The 2019 Championship will begin on February 1 and conclude on March 16.
Wales and Scotland get things underway next year in Cardiff on Saturday 3 February, with Ireland also travelling to Paris that day to begin their campaign against France. Back-to-back Championship winners England will then begin their tilt at a third straight title on Sunday 4 February in Italy.
“We are delighted to confirm the fixture dates for the 2018 Championship, coming shortly after a record breaking 2017 edition,’ said Six Nations Rugby chairman Pat Whelan.
“We enjoyed record figures across TV and digital and look forward to continuing that trend over the next two seasons.”
The 2019 Championship will begin on the weekend of February 1/2, and will run until March 16. Both the 2018 and 2019 Championships will continue to see rest weeks after Rounds Two and Three as in previous years.
