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

Elite rugby is being played around the globe on any given weekend, with plenty for fans to get stuck into.

The knockout stages of the Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup take centre stage this week, with huge games across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Elsewhere, there is more action from domestic leagues around the world, including the United Rugby Championship.

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.

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