The BBC has announced it’s agreed an exclusive deal to broadcast Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland men’s international football matches in the run-up to the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026. Rhodri Talfan Davies, Director of BBC Nations, says:

Scotland will be wary of a rapidly-improving Wales as they bid to bounce back from their Calcutta Cup defeat. For Wales, meanwhile, this feels like a free shot. The rapid, drastic improvements shown in Matt Sherratt’s first game as interim coach have brought the optimism back to Welsh rugby,

Scotland and Wales face off this evening in an intriguing Six Nations clash. A change of head coach did not produce a chance of fortunes for Wales, as interim boss Matt Sherratt was unable to mastermind a win over defending champions Ireland but did see a much-improved performance from the beleaguered Welsh side.
