France rugby heads to Italy to close out another electric weekend of Six Nations 2025. Italy haven't defeated Les Bleus in over a decade, dating back to Six Nations 2013. That match was at Stadio Olimpico, as will this one. 

Italy did, however, draw against France in last year's Six Nations, one of a handful of shocking results in 2024. 

Italy is only two points behind France currently, and if there was going to be a time to upset the French to move up the table, it's this time. 

However, Antoine Dupont and the French will be looking to pick themselves up after a shock loss to England last week. 

Here's what to know as Italy hosts France on Feb. 23. 

Italy Vs. France Rugby Kickoff Time

The match kicks off at 10:00 a.m. ET on Feb. 23 at Stadio Olimpico in Roma, Italy.
