ITV extend Prem Rugby broadcast deal until 2028

Prem Rugby has extended its free-to-air broadcast deal with ITV for a further two years.

The extension means ITV will continue to broadcast seven live matches per season, including the Prem final from Twickenham.

The new agreement starts next summer and continues until the 2028 Prem final.

ITV will also broadcast all of England's Six Nations matches this year.

Last year, TNT Sports agreed a new deal to broadcast Prem Rugby matches on its various platforms until the summer of 2031.

"We are delighted to continue our partnership with ITV, which is now into its fifth year," said Prem Rugby's head of broadcast Ollie Lewis.

"Giving fans of Gallagher Prem Rugby free-to-air access across the season, alongside the Six Nations, is the perfect blend to showcase the stars of our league to wider audiences."
