England are under huge pressure to deliver a convincing victory against underdogs Japan this weekend.

Elsewhere, Scotland host Australia, Wales take on South Africa and Ireland clash with Fiji.

TNT Sports and discovery+ boast the lion's share of rugby union TV rights for the remainder of 2024 and beyond, with Premiership Rugby starting up again. Autumn Internationals rugby matches will also be broadcast on the platform following a new deal until 2025.

Sky Sports will show games from The Rugby Championship between Southern Hemisphere teams, while BBC and ITV will return to show the Six Nations as usual each year.

Premier Sports mop up plenty of the remaining action with United Rugby Championship, French Top 14, European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup matches across their channels and online.
