The Six Nations has returned with some huge fixtures this weekend, with arguably the biggest saved for last.

Scotland and Ireland will meet on March 12, and you can watch every second of the action on BBC One (or BBC iPlayer) in the UK. If you’re based outside the UK, you will need to use a VPN to livestream BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world.

When is England vs France?

Scotland and Ireland will come face to face at Murrayfield Stadium this weekend:

Scotland vs Ireland (BBC) — 3:00 p.m. GMT on March 12

The game will be shown live on BBC One, or you can livestream the fixture on BBC iPlayer.

How can you livestream Scotland vs Ireland from abroad?

You’ll be blocked by BBC iPlayer if you try and connect from outside the UK. This popular streaming platform will recognise your location and restrict your access, meaning you’ll need to use a VPN to stream the 2023 Six Nations for free from outside the UK.

VPNs can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in the UK. This process is quick and easy, and tricks sites like BBC iPlayer into thinking you are based in the UK. All you need to do is sign up to a VPN, download the app, connect to a UK-based server, and then head to BBC iPlayer to watch Scotland and Ireland battle it out.
