Premiership Rugby land new deal with TNT Sports
By PA
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.

The banning of the croc roll will make carrying the ball into contact far more risky, leading to more kicking, and the change to the Dupont law will mean forwards have to do far more running than they do now. As a result I think there will be a rise of smaller, more mobile forwards who are strong defenders and strong over the ball like Kirifi.
Go to commentsWhat does the ownership of the club have to do with the poor performance of the team. It’s not as if he’s coaching them or in any way influencing the composition of the teams. I honestly don’t understand the comment.
