Netflix has confirmed it is going to film a behind-the-scenes documentary series on the upcoming 2023 Guinness Six Nations. 

The tournament begins Feb. 4, with Ireland visiting Wales in Cardiff and England hosting Scotland in London. 

The footage shot by the streaming service will be ready for broadcast in 2024.

A statement read: "Netflix has announced two new projects that further cement its status as a premier storyteller in sports, featuring exclusive, behind-the-scenes stories with the most popular athletes, teams, leagues and federations around the globe.

"As part of its sports slate, Netflix greenlit two new docuseries: an as yet untitled series at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, featuring exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage of all 32 teams from the tournament, and Six Nations, an exclusive, inside look at the international rugby tournament."

With regard to its Six Nations rugby project, which will be put together by the producers of Formula 1: Drive to Survive, the statement added: "The series will take us inside the exhilarating world of the oldest and greatest annual international rugby tournament.

"It will give fans an insight into pulsating behind-the-scenes moments, as the best teams in Europe battle it out in some of the biggest matches in the rugby calendar to take home the prestigious trophy."

Break Point, a series on tennis, and Full Swing, a series covering golf, are set to launch soon on Netflix, while later in 2023, the streaming company will premiere a behind-the-scenes docuseries from the 2022 Tour de France, as well as Heart of Invictus, following competitors in The Invictus Games.
