With the resumption of the Premiership season eight days away, league organisers have confirmed that all behind-closed-doors matches will be broadcast on BT Sport.
Free-to-air broadcast partner Channel 5 will also show four matches, as Premiership Rugby confirmed all remaining fixtures for the 2019-20 season.
It remains unknown when fans will be allowed to attend matches stadiums under the government’s steps to phase out of restrictions and back to normality.
BT Sport and Premiership clubs are working to permit free access to season ticket holders to watch matches live on BT Sport’s app, even if they do not have a subscription to the broadcaster.
