Premiership Rugby

BT Sport will revolutionise the way Aviva Premiership rugby is broadcast with a series of ground-breaking new innovations to be unveiled for the forthcoming season.

BT Sport's innovations include:
  • Cameras in dressing rooms 
  • Introduction of kicking tee camera and lineout cam 
  • Pre-match pitch walk, featuring interviews with players 
  • In-match interviews with directors of rugby 
  • Half-time player interviews 

Kick-off times will remain largely constant throughout the new campaign with a typical weekend of action featuring three live games:
  1. Friday at 7.45pm
  2. Saturday at 3.15pm 
  3. Sunday at 2pm

BT Sport will also screen a midweek rugby show – Rugby Tonight – from 8pm-10pm each Wednesday evening, plus two live matches from the French Top 14 every week.
