PREM Rugby TV schedule 2026/27: How to watch, free coverage & TV fixtures

Your complete guide to watching PREM Rugby in 2026/27, featuring a full TV schedule of games coming up.
PREM Rugby TV schedule 2026/27: How to watch, free coverage & TV fixtures

The new PREM Rugby season is here and offers all 10 clubs a fresh start in the quest for domestic glory.

Northampton stormed to their third title last term and return as one of the favourites for the 2026/27 campaign.

Leicester Tigers, Bath, Exeter, and Saracens are the teams tipped to challenge the Saints but the beauty of PREM Rugby is there are twists and turns to come.

Though the same cannot be said for the international game, entertainment is never in short supply in the English top tier and with select matches on free-to-air TV this season, new stars will rise.

With a World Cup to come next year, players across the division will have extra motivation to prove themselves in the hope of getting on the plane to Australia.

RadioTimes.com brings you the complete Premiership Rugby TV schedule, including every game you can watch live in the UK.

All UK time. Subject to change.
