Petition Protect the 6 Nations Championship & Ensure Live Free to Air Broadcast

The 6N is a UK sporting icon, steeped in history & culture. We believe it fuels national pride, unites communities, inspires male and female youth and is crucial for social cohesion. We think maintaining free-to-air TV in the UK market would ensure equitable access, vital for a healthy nation.

More details

We urge the UK Culture Secretary to:
* Recognise the 6 Nations' national interest as a “crown jewel” sport
* Ensure live free-to-air access for all UK citizens

We believe live free-to-air 6 Nations access will:
* Promote social inclusion
* Support grassroots rugby
* Safeguard this iconic sporting event's cultural heritage
