How to watch 2026/27 Gallagher PREM rugby season on TV & online

The 2026/27 Gallagher PREM season approaches and is shaping up to be an exciting affair. Whether you’re following your favourite team week in, week out or just want to catch the biggest fixtures, knowing exactly where to watch every match is essential.

We’re here to tell you exactly where you can watch this season, with info on live TV coverage and your streaming options, plus more key info about the season.

How to watch the Gallagher PREM on TV

There are two channels that show Gallagher Premiership fixtures live, although one shows a lot more than the other.

TNT Sports is the main broadcast, as they have been for the last eleven years, while ITV also shows seven games live on their free-to-air channel.

Gallagher PREM on TNT Sports

The 2024/25 season marked the first time in Premiership history that all 93 games of the regular season and playoffs were shown live, and that extensive coverage continues thanks to TNT Sports.

With live fixtures as well as extended highlights of the games fans may have missed, there’s no way you can miss out on any of the action.

The matches will be available to watch across TNT Sports channels on TV - that’s TNT Sports 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 plus six red-button channels. TNT Sports Ultimate is also available for select events, offering a viewing experience in 4K resolution with HDR.

You can also watch via HBO Max, the streaming home for TNT Sports, on any other device, such as your phone, tablet, laptop/PC or games console. If you have TNT Sports, then you’ll have access to a HBO Max Premium subscription, which will give you access to the streaming service plus all the sports included.

If you need to get your package sorted, why not check out the BT deals that we have available on Digital TV? For TNT Sports, we have the choice of either the Sports + Fibre 2 or Full Works + Fibre 2 package, both of which provide you with EE TV (formerly BT TV) plus TNT Sports and BT’s brilliant Fibre 2 broadband.

Gallagher PREM on ITV

In addition to TNT Sports’ coverage, ITV is also hosting seven games throughout the season thanks to their extended deal that sees them the exclusive free-to-air broadcaster. This also extends to being shown live on their streaming platform, ITVX.

They, too, will have a highlights show, with the rebranded Gallagher Premiership Unleashed premiering every Wednesday, showing all the highlights and analysis from the latest round.

Will the Gallagher PREM final be on ITV?

The Gallagher Premiership final will be broadcast live on ITV as well as on TNT Sports.

Gallagher PREM Rugby 2026/27 table

As usual, the top four teams in the table at the end of the season will go through to the play-offs.

The top eight teams in the table will earn a place in next season's European Rugby Champions Cup, the top-tier European club competition.

The team that finishes ninth will earn a place in the EPCR Challenge Cup, the second-tier European club competition.

The team at the bottom of the table will play a playoff game with that season's RFU Championship winner (second-tier English domestic competition, subject to eligibility) to decide who gets the final place in the Premiership for next season and a spot in the EPCR Challenge Cup.
