Top-flight rugby in England is back with a rebrand, and in this guide Rugby World brings you all the information you need 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. You’ll also find round 2 fixtures at the bottom of the page.

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 three 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 and ITVX also broadcast a weekly highlights show, rebranded as Gallagher PREM Unleashed for the new season. You can see a round-up of this weekend’s fixtures at 7.00pm BST on Wednesday (ITV4), with a shorter version later that evening at 11.45pm (ITV1).
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.

PREM Rugby live streams in the USA
New name, new home… PREM Rugby fans in the United States will need to get used to a new broadcaster this season, as English top-flight coverage has moved to FloRugby (it was previously available on The Rugby Network).
A rolling monthly FloRugby subscription costs $29.99, with an annual subscription costing $150 – this effectively works out at $12.50 per month. That gets you access to the entire FloSports network, which is handy if you’re also into cycling, motorsport and American football.
How to watch PREM Rugby: live stream from Australia
Down under? Gallagher PREM live streams are available through Stan Sportwhich is also home to loads of other rugby action and Premier League and Champions League soccer.
It costs $20 a month to add Stan Sport to your general Stan plan ($12 a month).

Sky Sport nz has the New Zealand rights to the Gallagher PREM, along with plenty more world-class sporting action including All Blacks games and Premier League soccer.
You can subscribe to Sky Sport Now from $54.99 per month or $549.99 per year (equivalent to $45.83 per month). Day passes are also available for $29.99.
