## About PREM Rugby

PREM Rugby is the governing body for Gallagher PREM Rugby, the top division of English men’s professional rugby union, and the PREM Rugby Cup.

The league, formerly known as Premiership Rugby, is set to enter its 40th season in 2026–27 under a new franchise-based model. The organization manages competition logistics, broadcast partnerships with TNT Sports and ITV, and event delivery for finals. It also engages fans through a dedicated mobile app and offers live match broadcasts. PREM Rugby targets rugby fans in England and internationally, as well as corporate sponsors and next-generation players through events like the PREM Next Gen Finals Day.
