Ireland’s fixtures for 2023 Six Nations championship revealed

Ireland will open the 2023 Six Nations Championship with a trip to face Wales at the Principality stadium and conclude the campaign when England travel to Dublin on March 18th; it will be the final match of a super Saturday triple header.

Andy Farrell's Triple Crown champions travel to Cardiff to contest the early game on Saturday February 4th (2.15), a slot they will have for the first three matches in the tournament. Ireland welcomes the Grand Slam champions, France to the Aviva stadium the following Saturday before travelling to Rome a fortnight later to take on Italy.

Ireland have one Sunday match, in round four when they head for Murrayfield and a game against Gregor Townend's Scotland.

The campaign concludes with England visiting the Aviva stadium the day after St Patrick’s Day. There are no Friday night fixtures but each round bar the last weekend will have games on a Sunday.
