Premiership launches PRTV streaming service

THE PREMIERSHIP have announced the launch of a new streaming service that allows supporters to watch all Gallagher Premiership rugby matches not broadcast on ITV or BT Sport.

PRTV Live will launch from Round 18 on Friday 25th February. A singular Match Pass will cost £4.99 or a Round Pass will cost £6.99 which allow a supporter to watch every fixture of a Premiership round.

Simon Massie-Taylor, Chief Executive Officer at Premiership Rugby said: “PRTV Live signals another step in our journey to grow the game and make Gallagher Premiership Rugby accessible to as many rugby fans as possible. Together with our partners BT Sport and ITV, PRTV Live will give supporters across the country the freedom to watch every game live, at home, or on the go.

“Through this new platform, we want to create a deeper relationship with our current fans, who have asked us for this service, and make the game as accessible as possible to new supporters. Having every match available to watch live is a crucial step forward for us.

“With 10 million rugby fans in England, PRTV Live will allow us to showcase the best of Gallagher Premiership Rugby to the widest possible audience, expanding our reach into the households of millions of other rugby fans. Not only that, but it’ll mean London Irish fans who can’t make the round trip of almost 600 miles to watch their team play Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park, can still see the game live!”

The matches will be available to purchase via the Premiership Rugby website from 21 February 2022 at Noon; the first matches will be streamed on the Premiership Rugby app on 25 February. Supporters will have access to up to 480 minutes (8 hours) of rugby action over a weekend.
