England vs France live stream: preview
This 2025 Six Nations game between England and France will take place at Twickenham Stadium in London. The match kicks off Saturday, February 8 at 4.45pm GMT / 11.45am ET / 3.45am AEDT (Sun.).
Narrowly defeated by Ireland last time out, England would have hoped for a kinder fixture in round two. As it is, Steve Borthwick's side must do battle with a formidable France team, who are favourites to lift the trophy this year.
France destroyed Wales 43-0 on matchday one, delivering a statement of intent as they rose straight to the top of the table. They are a physical team and England must show that they can match France in that department.
Borthwick will hope that home advantage plays its part, but England are undoubtedly underdogs. However, if they can be within touching distance of France after 70 minutes, the Twickenham crowd could roar England to victory.
You can watch all 2025 Six Nations games online for FREE, including this one. So keep reading to discover where to live stream England vs France in your country and from anywhere in the world.
