France host Wales on Friday night in the opening game of the 2025 Six Nations seeking a first title in the tournament since rampaging past all contenders for the 2022 crown.

The 2025 Six Nations gets underway tonight as France host a struggling Wales at the Stade de France. Warren Gatland’s men are big underdogs for Friday’s opening game of the tournament but they are relishing that tag as they look to end their dismal 12-match losing streak in style.

France v Wales kicks off at 8.15pm on Friday, January 31 at Stade de France in Paris. For viewers in the United Kingdom, France v Wales is being shown live on ITV1. You can therefore live stream the game by using the ITV X app, but you will need an ITV account and TV licence for this option.

As Wales prepare to kick off the 2025 Six Nations away to France, Warren Gatland will hope for an unlikley repeat of 2019 Welsh heroics in Paris.

Wales are similar odds to beat France in Paris as Japan were when they famously downed South Africa 34-32 at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. That was the biggest upset in World Cup history, and a Wales win tonight would be one of the biggest in Six Nations history.

Wales head coach Warren Gatland has highlighted what could backfire for France when the sides meet in Friday's Six Nations opener in Paris.
