Elite rugby is being played around the globe on any given weekend, with plenty for fans to get stuck into.
It’s crunch time in many of the world’s biggest domestic leagues. Northampton face Exeter Chiefs in the PREM Rugby decider, Leinster take on Bulls in the United Rugby Championship grand final, and Hurricanes go toe-to-toe with Chiefs for the Super Rugby Pacific title.
Attention begins to shift toward international matters, with South Africa against Barbarians on Saturday.
TNT Sports and HBO Max boast the lion’s share of rugby union TV rights for the remainder of 2025 and beyond, with PREM Rugby starting up again.
Sky Sports will show games from the British and Irish Lions tour and The Rugby Championship between Southern Hemisphere teams, while BBC and ITV will return to show the Six Nations as usual each year.
Premier Sports mop up plenty of the remaining action with United Rugby Championship, French Top 14, European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup matches across their channels and online.
Radio Times brings you a round-up of live rugby union on TV today and coming up.
