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

England continue their pursuit of an eighth straight Women’s Six Nations title on Saturday, when they host Wales, while Scotland travel to Italy and France host Ireland.

The end of the PREM Rugby season is fast approaching, while there is more action from competitions around the world for fans to sink their teeth into.

TNT Sports and HBO Max 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.
