Overview
- TF1 will carry nine of the 15 fixtures, including Wales vs France on February 15 and Scotland vs France on March 7.
- France Télévisions retains six matches, keeping all three France home games, notably the opener against Ireland on February 5 and the finale against England on March 14.
- The public broadcaster says most of the sublicensed games fall during the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics period.
- France Télévisions frames the move as exceptional after renewing exclusive Six Nations rights through 2029, reported at over €30 million per year, while seeking more than €150 million in savings.
- TF1 deepens its rugby portfolio, adding these broadcasts to rights for the autumn tests, the 2026 and 2028 Coupe des nations, and the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
