Live rugby union on TV and streaming today: International and domestic schedules
Your guide to the best live rugby union matches from around the world on TV and streaming.
Elite rugby is being played around the globe on any given weekend with plenty for fans to get stuck into.
The Autumn Internationals are here – with England v Australia and Ireland v New Zealand the pick of this weekend's matches.
Not all domestic rugby has hit the pause button, however, with the Women's Rugby Premiership, RFU Championship, Super Rygbi Cymru, and French Top 14 among the tournaments pressing ahead.
TNT Sports and discovery+ boast the lion's share of rugby union TV rights for the remainder of 2025 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.
RadioTimes.com brings you a round-up of live rugby union on TV today and coming up.
