Amazon Prime Video will broadcast 17 of the 20 the Autumn Internationals this October and November.

All of the England, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy fixtures will be streamed on the platform, with Ireland’s matches to be shown by Channel 4. Next year, the Ireland games will also be shown on Prime Video.

The series begins with Scotland v Tonga on 30 October, and Southern Hemisphere teams such as South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand are all expected to take part.

Ben Morel, chief executive of the Six Nations, said: “We are delighted to be working with Prime Video again for the broadcast of the Autumn Nations Series. They were a fantastic partner last year and we share the same ambition to establish an exciting series that fans will engage with and enjoy.

“We have worked closely with all our unions to agree a schedule of fixtures, that minimises overlaps making it possible for supporters in UK and Ireland to watch every single match from the home teams in a series that will showcase the best teams in the northern hemisphere against the best teams in the southern hemisphere, with Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all featuring.”
