Scotland finished a respectable third last year at the Six Nations but had a tough time in the World Cup after a cruel draw put them in the same pool as South Africa and Ireland. Wales have a talented team but have been way off the pace for quite some time and will want to get off to a good start today to put themselves back into contention. See how the two are shaping up with everything you need below on where to watch a Wales vs Scotland live stream for free, wherever you are in the world.
The world-famous annual rugby tournament is a real treat for fans, 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 Wales vs. Scotland today.
