Residents in Bloxwich, West Midlands, can watch the 2026 Six Nations rugby tournament live at The Bloxwich Showman, with screenings beginning on Thursday 5 February 2026 and continuing through the championship into mid‑March. The pub is hosting the broadcasts to provide a central place for fans to gather and support their teams during the international competition.

The Bloxwich Showman, operated by J D Wetherspoon and sited at 156A High Street, Bloxwich (WS3 3JT), has multiple large‑format TV screens and a dedicated audio zone for marquee matches. The venue will show fixtures featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales across the Six Nations schedule.

Wetherspoon and local venue management say the full Six Nations schedule draws extra interest to the High Street, and management expects particular demand for matches involving England, which they anticipate will increase footfall for nearby shops and services.

The pub is a licensed premises in the Walsall borough; customers should note that local licensing is administered by Walsall Council and check any specific conditions with the council or the venue. According to the reporter briefing, the Showman had an audio‑visual upgrade in late 2025 to improve the viewing and sound experience for customers. The screenings offer a low‑cost — and often free — alternative to paying for premium sports channels or stadium tickets, though customers should check with the pub about any special admission policies for particular fixtures.
