Premiership Rugby To Remain On TNT Sports
Premiership Rugby and TNT Sports have extended their longstanding domestic broadcast rights partnership for the UK and Ireland.
The renewal, which kicks in from the 2024/25 season, covers all 93 matches from English rugby’s top-flight division, including the play-offs and final.
Coverage will also be available on the Discovery+ subscription streaming platform.
TNT Sports, formerly known as BT Sport before it rebranded last July, launched as a joint venture between BT Sport and Warner Bros. Discovery in 2022.
The extension also includes select fixtures from the Premiership Rugby Cup domestic knockout tournament, and perpetuates TNT Sports’ partnership with the league, which dates back to 2013, when the channel first launched.
Andrew Georgiou, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe’s President of UK & Ireland, said: “TNT Sports and its streaming home Discovery+ will be the perfect companion for everyone looking to enjoy immersive rugby coverage alongside outstanding content that will bring fans even closer to the sport.
“With every game live, we can provide an even greater stage for the game, its clubs and the players.
“We have been broadcasting Premiership Rugby to millions of fans for more than a decade and are excited by the opportunity to go even further through our live broadcasts, programming and extensive coverage across social and digital platforms.”
