Is France vs England on TV? Kick-off time, channel and team news for Six Nations finale

The Six Nations comes to an end this weekend with England looking to close their campaign on a high.

It has been a disappointing Six Nations campaign for Eddie Jones’ men, with a title no longer possible following last week’s defeat.

England came up short against Ireland, losing 32-15, and that has left them in third place, eight points behind leaders France and six behind Ireland.

Fortunately, the Lions can at least leave their mark on this year’s championship, facing leaders France in the final game, and a win in that one would give Ireland the opportunity they need to come out on top.

Ahead of England’s clash with France, we have rounded up all you needed to know.

When is France vs England?

England will make the trip to Paris to face France at Stade de France on Saturday, 19 March.

Kick-off is at 8pm in the UK and 9pm in France.

Is it on TV?

Yes. The Lions’ clash with France will be shown live on ITV.

Coverage kicks off at 7.15pm, concluding at 10.30pm.
