England will play two Guinness Six Nations matches at Twickenham in 2022, it was announced today.

They will play Wales on Saturday February 26 and Ireland on Saturday March 12 at rugby HQ.

Kick off times yet to be announced.

The full list of fixtures can be found here.

Six Nations CEO Ben Morel said: "The 2021 Championship was one of the most competitive in history with eight of the 15 matches won by seven points or less.

"The drama of Super Saturday with France's last-minute win against Wales, meant that the winner of the Championship was only revealed after the final match was played.

"It was an amazing effort from so many people to make the Championship happen, not least the players and staff from the unions, the broadcasters, media and our partners.

"That effort paid off in the shape of record TV audiences and the most engaged Championship we've ever seen, it was truly a special achievement.

"This Guinness Six Nations entertained many of our long-standing fans and I believe we won plenty of new ones as well.

"We look forward to next year's Championship with hopefully a return to normality when we can welcome fans back in stadia and bring that unrivalled Guinness Six Nations atmosphere into sitting rooms, pubs and rugby clubs all over the world."

Scotland will host England on the same day, while France will face Italy at the Stade de France on Sunday 6th February.

There will be a return of Friday night rugby in Round 4 with Wales v France set to take place on 11th March at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Super Saturday 2022 will take place on 19th March starting with Wales v Italy, followed by Ireland v Scotland and concluding with France v England.
