After steadily improving over recent Six Nations appearances, rugby's Azzurri had a disappointing World Cup, but perhaps a Rome-field advantage will help them cause an upset in their opening Six Nations game. We're here to show you where to watch an Italy vs. England live stream for free from anywhere. This will work for every match of the Six Nations, too.

The annual rugby tournament is a real treat for fans around the world, with Europe's finest teams (Ireland, France, Wales, Scotland, England, and Italy) competing for local bragging rights. If you're in the UK, Ireland, or France, you can enjoy the whole thing for free, with no paid sports service required.

Outside these nations, though, coverage gets much harder to come by or is locked behind a local paywall. Don't worry if you're not in one of those countries with a free option, as we can help you enjoy any of the free Six Nations live streams from the selection of official channel links below via a VPN. Short for virtual private network, these handy apps let your devices mimic an international location so you can hop onto one of the free live streams of Italy vs. England today.

How to watch free Six Nations live streams from anywhere 

You can watch every Six Nations match for free via the UK's ITVX and BBC iPlayer, with the two dividing up the games each weekend.

A VPN virtually changes your devices' location, so apps and websites think you're connecting from servers within those countries. In the case of the Six Nations, you can connect through a UK server, and ITV/BBC will let you in with no fuss after creating a free email login.
