Premiership Rugby and Premiership Women’s Rugby will continue to be available on TNT Sports and soon to launch streaming service Max.
- TNT Sports will show live Premiership Rugby until 2030/31.
- It will also showcase Premiership Women’s Rugby until 2028/29.
TNT Sports will continue to be the home of English domestic rugby after signing new broadcast deals covering both Men’s and Women’s games.
The new deals replace TNT Sport’s current arrangements, meaning fans can look forward to expanded coverage from the start of the 2025-26 season.
Its current broadcast deal was only signed 14 months ago. Back in March 2024, TNT Sports announced a deal that would enable it to screen more games than ever before. Now it’s promising fans even more coverage…
What’s new for Premiership Rugby on TNT Sports?
Under the terms of the new deal, every single match from the Gallagher Premiership Rugby season – including the Play-Offs and Final – will be broadcast live on TNT Sports or its streaming platforms until the end of the 2030/31 season.
For streaming, this is currently via the discovery+ app. From early 2026, TNT Sports content will go live on the new Max streaming service.
Additionally, TNT Sports will show at least one match from every Premiership Women’s Rugby round each season – including both Semi-Finals and Final – until the end of the 2028/29 season.
