Allianz Premier 15s: Broadcast schedule update

Issued by Rugby Football Union

The broadcast schedule for the Allianz Premier 15s has been revealed for the next few months of the 2021/22 season.

This campaign has been the biggest ever commitment from the Rugby Football Union to showcase the Allianz Premier 15s with two matches from each round live streamed, and highlights of every game produced for clubs to use.

The BBC have taken one of those live streams per round since round six broadcasting the game on the BBC Sport website, app and iPlayer as well as taking selected matches on the BBC Red Button.

So far nearly 600,000 people have watched the Allianz Premier 15s either on Premier15s.com or BBC channels.

BT Sport also broadcast Harlequins Women v Wasps in the first ever Premier 15s game played at Twickenham as part of Big Game.

The live stream picks up until round 17 have been chosen with the final round to be selected on how the table stands after the 2022 Women’s Six Nations.

Round 18 will also see every game kick-off at 1400 BST on Saturday, 14 May with live tries from the other games played into the broadcast.

“We’re absolutely delighted so many people have been able to enjoy the action from the first half of the 2021/22 season which has been extremely competitive," said RFU head of the women’s and girls’ game Alex Teasdale.

“It’s great to partner with the BBC and be able to broadcast on our own channels and to see the growth.

“There are a number of exciting games coming up over the forthcoming rounds for viewers and spectators to enjoy and we’d encourage everyone to tune in.”
