Read on as our guide explains how to watch a Scotland vs England live stream for the 2022 Six Nations from anywhere in the world – including TV channel free-to-air coverage in the UK and Ireland.

Time: 4.45pm GMT / 11.45am ET / 8.45am PT / 3.45am AEDT / 5.45am NZDT
Venue: Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh
Owen Farrell’s absence means that Tom Curry captains England for the first time and Marcus Smith makes his Six Nations bow. It’s a new-look England team enforced by injury, featuring Elliot Daly at centre and Joe Marchant at left wing.
Jones has spent the week piling the pressure on his opposite number, but Gregor Townsend will be acutely aware of the expectations surrounding this team. Scotland have still never won the Six Nations in its current form, but they’ve arguably never been better placed to smash down that barrier.
Finn Russell, one of the stars of last year’s tournament, starts alongside Ali Price, while Jonny Gray returns to the second row. Zander Fagerson and Duhan van der Merwe also play. Read on for how to watch a Scotland vs England live stream wherever you are right now – starting with how to watch the Six Nations for FREE.
