The Six Nations is approaching with even more intrigue than recent years, with coaching changes and crackles of optimism from traditional whipping boys ahead of the 2023 tournament.

That’s not to mention there’s added pressure of getting it all together ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

England ditched Eddie Jones and Wales parted from Wayne Pivac since the last Six Nations tournament, with Steve Borthwick and Warren Gatland being handed the reins of each nation respectively.

Elsewhere, reigning champions France enter their first title defence in over a decade, while Italy enter the tournament without a 36-game Six Nations losing streak on their back after finally ending seven years of humiliation with a victory over Wales last year.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full round-up of Six Nations matches on TV in 2023, including the full fixture list, kick-off times and TV coverage details.
