The Six Nations starts on Feb. 3 with Wales and Scotland facing off in Cardiff, and Ireland travelling to Paris to play France. England travel to Italy a day later.
England and Wales renew hostilities in the highlight of round two at Twickenham on Feb. 10, while France take on Italy in round three the Friday after, in a match to be played at a yet-to-be announced venue outside Paris for the first time.
"We are delighted to confirm the fixture dates for the 2018 Championship, coming shortly after a record breaking 2017 edition," Six Nations Rugby chairman Pat Whelan said in a statement.
"We enjoyed record figures across TV and digital and look forward to continuing that trend over the next two seasons."
