TV & streaming guide for 2025/26 season

Top-flight rugby in England is back with a rebrand, and in this guide Rugby World brings you all the information on how to watch PREM Rugby on TV or streaming during the 2025/26 season.
Although the Gallagher Premiership has rebranded itself as the Gallagher PREM, viewers in the UK and Ireland can still watch every single fixture this season on TNT Sports and Discovery+. There are also options to stream PREM Rugby in Australia and New Zealand, as well as a new broadcaster in the United States.
And don’t forget that if you’re travelling overseas over the course of the season, you can use a VPN to watch your usual Gallagher PREM live stream from abroad. Read on to find out how to tune in wherever you are in the rugby world.

Watch the PREM: Key info
– Dates: 25 September 2025 – 20 June 2026
– Watch every match: TNT Sports (UK/Ireland), FloRugby (US), Stan Sport (Aus), Sky Sport NZ (NZ)
– Watch FOR FREE: ITVX (UK), select fixtures
– Watch from anywhere: Use NordVPN to access your usual stream from abroad

Watch PREM Rugby live streams in the UK and Ireland
As was the case last season, UK viewers can watch PREM Rugby live streams for every match this season on Warner Bros Discovery’s TNT Sports network. This is also the viewing destination for rugby fans in Ireland.
A subscription to Discovery+ Premium will cost you £30.99 per month in the UK. Alternatively, TNT Sports can be added to your Sky, BT, EE or Virgin Media TV package (costs vary by platform). This will give you access to all the Gallagher PREM action, along with the upcoming Autumn Nations Series. If you’re a football fan, you can also enjoy a selection of Premier League games, as well as matches from the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.
Don’t fancy stumping up for a whole season of TNT Sports? Seven Gallagher PREM matches (including the final) will be available through free-to-air broadcaster ITV’s terrestrial TV channels, and its ITVX streaming service. The first games on ITV will be a rematch between last season’s finalists, Leicester Tigers and Bath Rugby, on Saturday 18 October, followed by Saracens v Bath Rugby on Sunday 30 November.
ITV also broadcast a weekly highlights show, which will presumably be rebranded as Gallagher PREM Unleashed in time for the new season.
If you’re going to be overseas for any of the games, don’t forget that you can use a VPN to watch your usual PREM Rugby live stream from abroad. Find out more below.

How to watch PREM Rugby if you’re away from home
Going away for business or pleasure over the course of the season doesn’t mean you have to miss out on watching your favourite team in action in the PREM. Fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
If you’re yet to discover the wonders of a VPN (or Virtual Private Network), it’s a neat piece of software that allows you to change the IP address of your smartphone, tablet or laptop. The result? Your device can appear to be back home, allowing you to watch your usual live or on-demand content as if you were back on your sofa – assuming it complies with the broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.
Right now, the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide reckon NordVPN is top of the league.

70% off + 3 months FREE“NordVPN delivers the best balance of privacy, usability, extra features, and value for money,” say Tom’s Guide, who know a thing or two about such things. It unblocks all major streaming platforms, and also comes with a money-back guarantee and a big discount!
