How to Watch Live Rugby Union and Rugby League on TV and Online
Rugby broadcast rights are split between Northern Hemisphere club and international competitions, Southern Hemisphere tours, and Rugby League fixtures. Because very few rugby matches air on traditional American basic cable, US and Canadian viewers almost always rely on dedicated streaming apps, while viewers in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa watch across domestic sports networks and free-to-air public channels.
Here is where live rugby airs across major regions in 2026:
- United States: Peacock ($10.99/mo, with select delayed broadcasts on NBC and CNBC) is the home for the Six Nations, World Rugby Sevens, and World Cup events. FloRugby ($29.99/mo or $150/yr) carries the heaviest volume of year-round rugby in the US, including the Investec Champions Cup, United Rugby Championship (URC), Top 14, Super Rugby Pacific, The Rugby Championship, and Autumn Nations Series. The Rugby Network (TRN) and ESPN+ carry Major League Rugby (MLR) and English Premiership Rugby, while Fox Soccer Plus and WatchNRL cover Australia's NRL.
- United Kingdom & Ireland: Six Nations matches air free-to-air across BBC One (BBC iPlayer) and ITV1 (ITVX) in the UK, and RTÉ and Virgin Media in Ireland. TNT Sports (streamed on discovery+) carries Gallagher Premiership Rugby and the Autumn Nations Series, Premier Sports covers the URC, Champions Cup, and Top 14, and Sky Sports airs Super League, NRL, and Southern Hemisphere tours.
- Australia, New Zealand & South Africa: Stan Sport (with select free-to-air tests on Nine Network) is the home of rugby union in Australia while Fox League/Kayo Sports and Nine cover the NRL; Sky Sport NZ carries all rugby in New Zealand; and SuperSport broadcasts every major competition in South Africa.
