Premiership Women’s Rugby today announced two transformational broadcast agreements for the league – with every single league match confirmed to be available to watch live throughout the 2025/26 season and beyond.
For the first time in league history, all 75 PWR fixtures will be broadcast live across TNT Sports, BBC Sport, and YouTube.
Each weekend, PWR’s coverage will be spearheaded by TNT Sports – who will broadcast the first pick from each round. Of the remaining three fixtures, one will be broadcast live on BBC’s iPlayer as well as the BBC Sport website and app, and two will be streamed live via PWR’s YouTube channel, ensuring that a global audience can watch more PWR action than ever before.
“This is a huge step forward for the visibility of our league and the incredible athletes who light it up week after week,” said Genevieve Shore, Executive Chair of Premiership Women’s Rugby.
“Making all matches available live – across TNT Sports, BBC Sport and YouTube – means more fans can connect with our game. It’s an unprecedented opportunity to showcase the quality, passion and competitiveness of Premiership Women’s Rugby to the widest possible audience.
"We know that visibility drives engagement and inspires participation. By making every match live, we’re not just creating a better experience for fans – we’re helping build the future of women’s rugby from grassroots to elite level.
“The PWR is the best women's club rugby competition in the world, and we can’t wait to show that to more people than ever before.”
