International rugby on Premier Sports this November
UK & Ireland sports broadcaster Premier Sports has added live international rugby coverage to its channels this November with a series of fixtures for fans – kicking off with an international double-bill featuring some of the sport’s biggest names.
Tune in on November 1st at 1:10pm (UK) on Premier Sports 1, when the Barbarians take on the All Blacks XV in a showdown at Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford. Later attention shifts to Wembley Stadium, where South Africa begin their Northern Hemisphere autumn tour with a test against Japan live from 4:00pm on Premier Sports 2.
Premier Sports will also deliver live TV coverage of England A v All Blacks XV on November 8th at 1.05pm on Premier Sports 1 from The Rec at Bath. England A provides a platform for players transitioning from Gallagher PREM Rugby and pathway at U20 level to the senior men’s team. Ten players from England’s A squad in 2024/25 went on to earn their senior men’s debuts.
Richard Sweeney, CEO of Premier Sports UK, commented: “We’re delighted to add three high profile international rugby fixtures to our rugby coverage giving added value to our UK rugby customers and bringing fans more from the global game. We’ve had a strong start to the URC and Top 14 rugby seasons and with the excitement of our international club rugby coverage just around the corner as Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup kicks off on December 5th – rugby remains front and centre of Premier Sports’ expanding live sports coverage every weekend.”
