It\u2019s the epic conclusion to the 2026 Women\u2019s Six Nations but who will claim the Grand Slam?<\/p>\n
Watch France v England as the Red Roses travel to Bordeaux for a Grand Slam decider in the 2026 Women\u2019s Six Nations<\/a>.<\/p>\n The tournament organisers couldn\u2019t have planned this better, as the two best teams in the tournament meet in a final shoot-out for the title. World champions England are no strangers to victory, having won the last seven editions of the tournament without losing a single game. The Red Roses also unbeaten in 37 matches in all competitions, and their dominance is such that they start as favourites in every game they play.<\/p>\n But could this be the year France etch a different name on the Six Nations trophy? With injuries and pregnancies ruling many of England\u2019s frontline players out of contention, there\u2019s been an unfamiliar and experimental feel to John Mitchell\u2019s squad this time out \u2013 even when they\u2019ve been clocking up 60-plus scores against Scotland and Wales.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also very little to choose between the two sides in the Six Nations table \u2013 the Red Roses lead on points difference \u2013 and with home advantage, Les Bleues will fancy their chances of causing an upset. In other words, this is poised to be the game of the tournament.<\/p>\n The match gets underway at 4.15pm BST, and you can watch France v England live streams for free in the UK, Ireland and France.<\/p>\n Read on to find out how you can use a VPN<\/a> to tune in wherever you are in the world, and head to the bottom of the page for line-ups and officials.<\/p>\n Key information<\/p>\n \u2013 France v England date: Sunday 17 May 2026<\/p>\n \u2013 France v England kick-off time: 4.45pm BST \/ 5.45pm CET (local) \/ 11.45am EDT \/ 5.45pm SAST \/ 1.45am AEST (Monday)<\/p>\n \u2013 France v England venue:\u00a0Stade Atlantique Bordeaux M\u00e9tropole, Bordeaux<\/p>\n \u2013 France v England free streams: BBC iPlayer<\/a> (UK), RT\u00c9 Player<\/a> (Ireland), France TV<\/a> (France)<\/p>\n \u2013 Watch from anywhere: Try NordVPN 100% risk-free<\/a><\/p>\n How to watch France v Red Roses for free<\/p>\n There are several options for watching the big Women\u2019s Six Nations 2026 finale for FREE.<\/p>\n In the UK the game is available on terrestrial channel BBC One and streaming service BBC iPlayer<\/a>.
