Wales vs England live stream: how to watch 2025 Six Nations online, Pollock in line for debut, Wainwright returns

Cadan Murley of England watches the rugby ball come towards him during the 2025 Guinness Six Nations Rugby Championship.

Wales vs England is an eternally engrossing contest. Yes, the home side are enduring their worst run in history, with 16 losses on the trot, but, under interim head coach Matt Sherratt's stewardship, there are green shoots for the home faithful to cling onto. They will not go down without an almighty fight.

England, meanwhile, are on the up. A narrow one-point victory over form side France in round two is ageing better with every passing weekend. A bonus-point victory today would nudge them ahead of Ireland—regardless of the result in the early kick-off—and into pole position for the championship.

Whatever happens, it's certain to be an enthralling triple header on Six Nations Super Saturday. Here's how you can watch Wales vs England live streams anywhere in the world with a VPN – and potentially for free.

The Principality Stadium has witnessed some low-scoring arm wrestles between these two proud rugby nations in recent seasons but this weekend's fixture promises to be fast, frantic and likely chock-full of tries. England need maximum points and Sherratt only knows one way of playing.

Hoping to derail the visitor's title aspirations, Wales make just two changes from their 35-29 loss to Scotland in round four. Aaron Wainwright returns at blindside flanker in place of Tommy Reffell and Joe Roberts enters the fray for the first time in the championship on the wing.

Gareth Anscombe continues at fly-half, while Jarred Evans will likely be deployed off the bench to up the tempo further in the closing stages.

For England, hunting a first title since 2000, head coach Steve Borthwick has made an eye-catching nine changes to the 23.

Some are injury-enforced. Wing Tom Roebuck returns in place of Ollie Lawrence who ruptured his achilles against Italy and is now destined to miss out on the British and Irish Lions this summer.

Most are tactical. Flanker Ben Curry replaces number eight Tom Willis in the back row, Luke Cowan-Dickie swaps with Test centurion Jamie George at hooker, Tommy Freeman steps into the outside centre berth left by Lawrence and Elliot Daly starts on the wing.

The head coach has also called up under-20 starlet Henry Pollock. The Northampton Saints flanker could make his Test debut off the bench. Elsewhere, prop Will Stuart is set to earn his 50th cap and fly-half George Ford could nudge his tally up to 99 as a replacement.

Having collected four tries in four matches, Freeman is also chasing a full house of five in five in Cardiff.

It's all to play for—at least until France vs Scotland kicks off on Saturday evening. Read on to discover how to watch Wales vs England live streams, and watch the 2025 Six Nations championship wherever you are in the world – including our guide to free options.
