Premiership Rugby land new deal with TNT Sports

All 93 matches of the 2024-25 Gallagher Premiership season will be screened live after a new television deal was agreed for TNT Sports to remain the home of English club rugby.

Games, including the Premiership play-offs and final, will be broadcast on TNT Sports and discovery+, while select fixtures from the Premiership Rugby Cup will also be shown.

The PA news agency understands it is a two-year deal and that discussions with free-to-air channels are continuing with a view to showing seven live games – the same as this season – including the 2024-25 Premiership final.

This season, 57 games are due to be shown live on TNT linear channels.

Premiership Rugby chief executive Simon Massie-Taylor said in a statement: “This first season alongside TNT Sports has already produced some unmissable drama – so we are delighted to be showcasing every single Gallagher Premiership Rugby game on the same platform from 2024-25.”

BT Sport, which became TNT Sports as part of a joint venture between Warner Bros. Discovery and BT in September 2022, has broadcast Premiership Rugby since the channel’s launch in 2013.
