If you’re travelling overseas this weekend, you can use a VPN to watch your usual Premiership Rugby live stream from abroad. Read on to find out how to tune in when the top flight action resumes with Northampton Saints v Leicester Tigers and Newcastle Falcons v Sale Sharks on Friday night.


How to watch Premiership Rugby: live stream from the UK and Ireland

Free-to-air network ITV will broadcast seven live Premiership matches this season via its terrestrial channels and ITVX streaming service. This weekend the Saracens v Harlequins London derby is free to view on both ITV4 and the ITVX streaming service. You need to complete a brief sign-up to access ITVX, and don’t forget that you need a valid TV Licence to stream live TV in the UK.

Coverage starts at 2.30pm GMT on Saturday ahead of the 3.05pm kick-off.

UK viewers can watch Premiership Rugby live streams for every match this season on Warner Bros Discovery’s TNT Sports network (formerly BT Sport). The broadcaster holds the rights to show Gallagher Premiership matches in Ireland, too.

A new deal for the 2024/25 season means that TNT Sports and Discovery+ will show all 93 games for the first time, including the play-off semi-finals and final.

A subscription to Discovery+ Premium (which gives you access to all the Premiership action, along with Champions League football and a selection of Premier League matches) will cost you £30.99 per month in the UK. Alternatively, TNT Sports can be added to your Sky, BT, EE or Virgin Media TV package – costs vary by platform.

Highlights show Gallagher Premiership Unleashed airs on ITV1 and ITVX at 11.40pm GMT on Wednesday night.

If you’re going to be away from home for any big league games this season, don’t forget that you can use a VPN to watch your usual Premiership Rugby live stream from abroad. You’ll find more details below.


Watch Premiership Rugby live streams if you’re away from home

Away from home for work or holiday when this weekend’s games kick off? That doesn’t mean you have to miss any of the Gallagher Premiership action. Fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.

A VPN – or Virtual Private Network – is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television – even when you’re overseas. (Assuming this complies with the broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.)

The technology experts from TechRadar love NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it’s currently available at a knockdown price.
