Premiership Rugby renews TNT deal
Premiership Rugby and Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) have signed new long-term broadcast deals with TNT Sports.
The multi-year agreements ensure TNT Sports remains the primary broadcaster for English domestic club rugby in the UK and Ireland.
Replicating the previous arrangement, every Gallagher Premiership Rugby match, including the Play-Offs and Final, will be broadcast live on TNT Sports or its streaming platform discovery+ until the end of the 2030/31 season. Select Premiership Rugby Cup matches will also be shown.
For Premiership Women’s Rugby, TNT Sports or discovery+ will broadcast at least one match from every round, including the Semi-Finals and Final, until the end of the 2028/29 season, showing the top pick each round.
The deals follow reported record audience numbers for both leagues on TNT Sports over the past year.
Gallagher Premiership Rugby and Premiership Women’s Rugby coverage will also be available on Max after its launch in early 2026.
Simon Massie-Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Premiership Rugby, said, “Our clubs have worked hard to establish the Gallagher Premiership as a compelling competition with high-quality entertaining rugby, and TNT Sports have embraced the challenge to continue to innovate to help grow the sport and their output has been first class.
“This extended partnership allows both parties to invest in the long-term growth of the Gallagher Premiership and we are very excited about the future.”
Genevieve Shore, Executive Chair, Premiership Women’s Rugby, said, “The extension of our partnership with TNT Sports is a huge step forward for Premiership Women’s Rugby.
“We’re thrilled to be working with a broadcaster that shares our vision for the future of the women’s game, and this deal is a powerful vote of confidence in the strength, skill, and excitement that define Premiership Women’s Rugby and its athletes.”
