The Women’s Six Nations continues to go from strength to strength as the tournament returns in 2023.
For the first time, all competing teams now offer professional contracts in some form.
England and France are likely to again vie for the title, with their potential deciding date at Twickenham on the final Saturday set to break records as the best-attended women’s rugby match in history.
But Ireland, Scotland, Italy and Wales will have plenty of optimism they can trouble the tournament’s big two across five rounds of action.
Here are the Women’s Six Nations 2023 fixtures and UK TV channels:
