Six Nations: What TV channel is Wales v Scotland? How to watch, kick-off time, teams, referee

Match information and TV details ahead of the Six Nations opener in Cardiff

Scotland will hope to claim their first win in Cardiff in 22 years when they kick off their 2024 Six Nations campaign against Wales on Saturday.

Not since a 27-22 victory in 2002, when current head coach Gregor Townsend was playing at fly-half, has a Scottish side emerged with the points from the Welsh capital.

The Scots did triumph on Welsh soil four years ago but the match was moved to Llanelli and played in front of an empty stadium due to Covid restrictions.

If Scotland have any aspirations of winning the title for the first time since 1999 – when it was still the Five Nations before Italy become involved – then they must start with a positive result against Warren Gatland’s side.

Victory would set Scotland up nicely for the home double-header against France on February 10 and England on February 24 with the tournament concluding with back to back away matches against Italy on March 9 and Ireland on March 16.
