Come kick-off on Saturday evening, France and Scotland will know exactly what is required of them. For the hosts, a record-levelling seventh Six Nations title, since Italy joined the party in 2000, could be sealed if Ireland and England slip up. More likely, victory by any margin will tie up the trophy.
For the Scots—if Ireland and England both lose—they'll simply need to win with a 103-point swing over their opponents to lift the cup. More realistically, the visitors could open the door for the Irish or English to claim the championship with success in Paris.
Whatever happens, it's certain to be an enthralling triple header on Six Nations Super Saturday. Here's how you can watch France vs Scotland live streams anywhere in the world with a VPN, and potentially for free. Here we'll show you how.
France vs Scotland – 2025 Six Nations live stream details, dates, times and TV channels
France vs Scotland kick-off is scheduled for 8 p.m GMT on Saturday March 15. That's 1 p.m PT / 4 p.m. ET / 7 a.m AEDT (Sunday).
• FREE — BBC iPlayer / ITVX (U.K.) / RTÉ Player / Virgin Media Play (Ireland)
• AUS — Stan
• U.S. — Peacock
• Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free
Bolstering their ranks, France welcome back veteran centre Gaël Fickou, in for the injured Pierre-Louis Barassi, who has missed the rest of the championship with a broken thumb. Fickou will draw level with Philippe Sella's record for Six Nations appearances on 50.
Behind the scrum, Maxime Lucu replaces Antoine Dupont who is ruled out for the foreseeable due to a torn ACL suffered against Ireland.
Elsewhere, head coach Fabien Galthie has stuck with the same pack and 7:1 split of forwards to backs on the bench, with scrum-half Nolann Le Garrec the solitary back replacement.
A shoo-in for player of the tournament, Louis Bielle-Biarrey continues on the left wing. The 21-year-old is virtually untouchable with seven tries and four try assists so far.
For Scotland, a championship that promised so much has once again passed them by, yet Gregor Townsend's charges can still leave their mark on the tournament with a strong performance in Paris. Victory, however unlikely, could even pave the way for an Ireland or England title.
Bidding to repeat their 2021 feat of an away win in the Stade de France, Townsend has made just two changes to the starting XV. Gregor Brown replaces Jonny Gray in the second row and number eight Matt Fagerson swaps with the injured Jack Dempsey.
Back row forwards Marshall Sykes and Ben Muncaster are set to earn their tournament debuts off the bench.
