Ireland begin their 2026 Six Nations campaign on Thursday away to France.
Andy Farrell's side face the defending champions in their opening Six Nations match on Thursday evening at a venue yet to be confirmed, with kick-off at 8.10pm Irish time.
The game is being played on Thursday to avoid clashing with the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
Ireland play their second match at home against Italy on Saturday, February 14, before travelling to England a week later.
From 2026, the men's Six Nations Cup will be held with one break instead of two.
After the break, Ireland host Wales on Friday, March 6, before playing Scotland at home in their final match.
