Live rugby union on TV and streaming today: International and domestic schedules

It's a busy weekend in the world of rugby union – with some eye-catching international and domestic action on our screens.

England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all involved as the WXV Global Series 2026, the new women's international tournament, kicks off.

The Premiership Rugby Cup continues as well as the start of the PREM Rugby campaign approaches.

TNT Sports and HBO Max boast the lion's share of rugby union TV rights for the remainder of 2026 and beyond, with PREM Rugby starting up again.

Sky Sports will show games from the British and Irish Lions tour and The Rugby Championship between Southern Hemisphere teams, while BBC and ITV will return to show the Six Nations as usual each year.

Premier Sports mop up plenty of the remaining action with United Rugby Championship, French Top 14, European Champions Cup and Challenge Cup matches across their channels and online.

Radio Times brings you a round-up of live rugby union on TV today and coming up.
