The Championship showcases the world’s best players and remains one of the most culturally significant competitions in international sport and we’re delighted to bring these outstanding fixtures to our customers and growing rugby network. This deal is another significant step in Premier Sports’ growth and commitment to rugby. From our experience of URC, Top 14 and EPCR competitions to elite international rugby, we are committed to investing in rugby and telling its stories with insight, expertise and passion. We will bring our own unique take and presentation on these big games and provide a new coverage vantage point for rugby fans.
“We have seen significant audience and subscriber growth in the past year through our live coverage of the Investec Champions Cup and France’s TOP14, and the addition of Six Nations matches further strengthens our rugby proposition for viewers, advertisers and partners. Our ability to reach audiences both in the UK and internationally is a key part of Premier Sports’ strategy. We can combine high-quality live coverage with our flexible streaming platforms, to bring world-class rugby to fans wherever they are,” added Sweeney.
