Scotland vs Ireland live stream: preview
This 2025 Six Nations game between Scotland and Ireland will take place at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. The match kicks off on Sunday, February 9 at 3pm GMT / 10am ET / 2am AEDT (Mon.).
Scotland beat Italy 31-19 last time out, but this will be a much stiffer test. Having never won a Six Nations before, Scotland are unsurprisingly outsiders this year, but a win on Sunday would give them real belief for the remainder of the tournament.
Ireland edged out England in round one, emerging triumphant by a narrow 27-22 margin. The reigning champions are seeking a third Sixth Nations title on the bounce and they are widely fancied to come out on top in Edinburgh.
Ireland are a possession-focused team, while they are also strong at the breakdown. Scotland have evolved into a kicking team and that will be a key part of their strategy here.
