What TV channel is Wales v Scotland Women? How to watch the Women's Six Nations

TV and live stream details ahead of the 2024 tournament opener in Cardiff

The 2024 Women's Six Nations gets underway this weekend with Scotland hoping to build on last year's best-ever fourth place finish.

Bryan Easson’s side start their tournament in Cardiff on Saturday looking to avenge the 34-22 defeat suffered to Wales in Edinburgh last year. Scotland collected 10 points in 2023 thanks to bonus point wins over Italy and Ireland, but were on the end of two heavy defeats to England and France.

England are the defending champions following last year’s Grand Slam success having dominated the competition in recent years with five consecutive triumphs leading up to the 2024 edition. Scotland can approach the Six Nations with confidence having claimed the inaugural WXV2 title last year.

Scotland have just two home matches this year – against France on March 30 and England on April 13 – and will hope to cause some upsets on home turf before finishing with back-to-back away matches against Italy on April 20 and Ireland on April 27.

Qualification for the 2025 Rugby World Cup is also at stake this year. Whoever finishes highest out of Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Italy will secure their place at the showpiece event next summer with hosts England and France already qualified.
