Wales attempt to bring their record-breaking losing streak to an end under the Principality Stadium roof
Watch Wales v England to see one of the fiercest rivalries in rugby renewed under the Principality Stadium Roof. This guide will give you all the information on the live streams and TV coverage you need to watch a game that could still have a bearing on the destination of the Six Nations 2025 championship.
Wales’ record-breaking losing streak is well documented and they head into Saturday’s match on the back of 16 consecutive defeats. They won’t need any additional motivation to raise their game for the visit of their next door neighbours, however – especially as England are still in with a chance of winning the championship if France slip up in Paris.
The match kicks off at 4.45pm GMT in south Wales, and you can watch Wales v England live streams for free in the UK, Ireland and France – read on to find out how to tune in wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Wales v England from abroad
Being overseas this weekend doesn’t mean that Super Saturday has to happen without you.
A VPN (Virtual Personal Network) allows you to change your device’s IP address, meaning you can sidestep inconvenient geo-blocking issues and watch your usual streaming service from abroad. The result? Making your laptop, smartphone or tablet appear to be in a different country, so you can log in as if you were back home. VPNs also have the added benefit of improving your internet security when you’re online.
