England face Wales in a pivotal Six Nations clash at Twickenham this Saturday, 26th February. Eddie Jones' men were beaten 20-17 by Scotland two weeks ago and can't afford another loss if they're to keep their Six Nations dream alive. 4.45pm is the kick-off time and UK fans can watch England vs Wales free on ITV (opens in new tab). Below, we'll explain how to watch a free England vs Wales live stream from where you are with a VPN (opens in new tab).

The team news is in and Wayne Pivac has made just two changes. Taulupe Faletau and Josh Adams will return for Wales against England this Saturday; Jac Morgan drops to the bench while Louis Rees-Zammit has been dropped altogether.
Meanwhile, Eddie Jones has raised eyebrows by continuing with Harry Randall at scrum-half. Manu Tuilagi is back in the England starting XV, while Courtney Lawes returns as captain after suffering a concussion absence.
Wales got their Six Nations title defence off to the worst possible start after being thrashed 29-7 by Ireland, before notching up a 20-17 win over Scotland. Saturday's clash is a must-win for England too. The good news for Jones' men is that the Dragons have not won at Twickenham in the Six Nations Championship since 2012.

Watch England vs Wales from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant 2022 Guinness Six Nations rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For England vs Wales, you may wish to choose 'UK' for ITV Hub.
3. Then head over to ITV Hub (opens in new tab) on your browser or device and enjoy the free England vs Wales live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN (opens in new tab).
