Ireland Vs. England Rugby Lineups, Kickoff Times

Ireland vs. England promises to be one of the best matches of the year. Here are the lineups, kickoff time and everything else you need to know from Dublin.

All eyes will be on the iconic clash between Ireland and England at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, as the 2025 Six Nations Championship kicks off for both sides. 

The reigning champions, fresh off back-to-back Six Nations titles in 2023 and 2024, are looking to secure a historic third consecutive victory. 

England comes into the tournament with high expectations. After finishing third last year, Steve Borthwick’s side is determined to reclaim the Six Nations title for the first time since 2020. 

England’s first test comes against a formidable Irish team, and with players such as Marcus Smith and Maro Itoje leading the charge, this will be the perfect opportunity to make an early statement.

Ireland’s stars have been in exceptional form in the 2025 Investec Champions Cup, with players such as Jack Crowley, Jamison Gibson-Park and Caelan Doris making a mark at the club level. Now, they’ll be looking to carry that form into the Six Nations.

Here’s what to know as Ireland and England kick off their Six Nations campaigns Feb. 1:
