England coach Steve Borthwick has named his 36-man squad for the Six Nations, while Andy Farrell has named his 34-man squad as Ireland look to defend their Six Nations title.
It means that the squads for all six countries have been announced before the tournament starts in February.
When is the 2024 Six Nations?
The 2024 Six Nations will kick off on February 2, 2024 at 8pm (UK time) when France host Ireland.
The last time either team took to the Stade de France pitch was during the World Cup quarter-finals in October, when they were eliminated from the tournament on consecutive nights.
England will start their tournament against Italy on February 3, 2024 at 2:15 PM (UK time). The Borthwick side will be hoping to improve on their previous performances at the Six Nations after finishing fourth in the standings with 10 points, 17 points behind the winners, Ireland.
How to watch the 2024 Six Nations on TV
The programs will continue to be shown on both BBC and ITV in Britain this year. Live streams will be available for free on the BBC iPlayer and ITVX apps, and can be downloaded onto mobile devices or tablets.
The long-term future of the Six Nations on free-to-air television is uncertain after the government rejected calls to add the tournament to the list of sporting events that must be shown free-to-air.

What are the Six Nations squads?
Who is in the Wales squad?
Wales coach Warren Gatland has appointed Dafydd Jenkins as his captain. At 21, Jenkins has just twelve caps to his name and, in the absence of Jac Morgan and the injured Dewi Lake, will become the second-youngest man to captain his country.
Gatland has named five uncapped players in his squad, with a further six yet to feature in the Six Nations. Louis Rees-Zammit is off the roster following his decision to try to join the NFL.
Who is in the Scotland squad?
England Under-18 and Under-20 winger Arron Reed has been named in Scotland's 39-man squad. Coach Gregor Townsend has yet to name a captain.
Who is in the French selection?
Emmanuel Meafou, the New Zealand-born colossus from Toulouse, has moved a step closer to a France debut after being included as one of six uncapped players in Fabien Galthié's Six Nations squad.
Meafou, who only joined Les Bleus after qualifying for last year's World Cup on residency, has made a name for himself as one of Europe's toughest strikers since arriving in Toulouse in 2019.
In the absence of Antoine Dupont, who will miss the entire Six Nations to focus on a potential Sevens appearance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, La Rochelle skipper Grégory Alldritt will captain France.
Who is in the Italy squad?
The most important news from the Italian team's announcement is the selection of South African-born back rower Ross Vintcent.
Who is in the Irish selection?
Experienced Munster Peter O'Mahony was named Ireland's new captain on Wednesday as Farrell kicked off the post-Johnny Sexton era by naming a mostly experienced 34-man squad to defend their Six Nations title.
O'Mahony, 34, captained the side 10 times before managing Ireland at underage level before winning the first of his 101 caps. He also skippered Munster for many years and captained the British & Irish Lions in the opening Test of the 2017 tour.
Who are the favorites to win the 2024 Six Nations?
Ireland and France are the bookmakers' favourites, with England close behind. Scotland, Wales and Italy are not favored.
