PREM Rugby Lives Here: Gallagher Premiership To Stream On FloRugby
For the first time, all three rugby domestic leagues of the EPCR competitions stream on one platform in the United States.
FloSports is making rugby a centerpiece of its streaming lineup, announcing long-term broadcast agreements with Gallagher PREM Rugby, the United Rugby Championship (URC) and France’s Top 14 that will bring more than 1,000 matches annually to FloRugby.
The deals expand the company’s rugby footprint and add a new original program, Athlete’s Lounge, which will feature player interviews, live commentary and alternative coverage.

The move cements FloRugby as a year-round home for professional rugby in North America, offering a slate that now includes England’s top domestic competition, the URC’s cross-continental mix of Irish, Scottish, South African, Italian and Welsh clubs, and France’s highly competitive Top 14.
With the addition of these rights, FloSports holds a comprehensive portfolio that also features Super Rugby, the Investec Champions Cup, the EPCR Challenge Cup and The Rugby Championship.
The addition of PREM Rugby means that FloRugby is the first streaming platform to stream all three EPCR leagues on one platform in the United States. Every Top Tier European club rugby match this season stream on FloRugby and the FloSports app.
Phil Wendler, executive vice president of global rights and acquisition for FloSports, said the deals underscore the company’s long-term commitment to rugby.
“FloSports has made rugby a part of our long-term vision and we are doubling down on our investment in the sport,” Wendler said. “These partnerships represent the most competitive and globally recognized leagues today, and reinforce our mission to deliver world-class rugby to fans across North America throughout the entire calendar year. They also usher in the opportunity for us to take a fresh perspective in covering the sport - like Athlete’s Lounge - so that we can entertain existing fans and reach new ones that we know are out there.”
Gallagher PREM Rugby Clubs A Cornerstone Of New Programing
Gallagher PREM Rugby continues to be a cornerstone of the new programming, with historic clubs such as Leicester Tigers, Bath Rugby, Saracens and Harlequins drawing international stars.
The league’s 2025–26 schedule begins Sept. 25 with Sale Sharks hosting Gloucester Rugby. Clubs are coming off strong seasons, including Bath’s treble-winning campaign in 2024–25, and Saracens’ continued resurgence led by captain Maro Itoje.
The URC adds international reach, highlighted by Ireland’s Leinster, South Africa’s DHL Stormers and Scotland’s Edinburgh Rugby. France’s Top 14, regarded as one of the toughest domestic competitions, features global icons like Antoine Dupont at Toulouse and Damian Penaud at Union Bordeaux Bègles
FloSports ‘Athlete’s Lounge’ Offers Fresh Coverage
FloRugby will also debut Athlete’s Lounge, patterned after a successful FloTrack series. Designed as an alternative stream, the show will feature former internationals and professional players in conversation with coaches, analysts and special guests. The program is set to launch Sept. 26 with live coverage of Gallagher Premiership and URC fixtures.
The addition comes at a time of sustained growth for rugby worldwide. World Rugby reported in 2023 that global participation rose to 8.46 million players, with women making up nearly one-quarter of those involved. Attendance and broadcast numbers in both the URC and Premiership are also at record highs, underscoring demand for expanded access.
FloRugby streams are available on the FloSports app across Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Android TV. Availability will expand to Samsung, Vizio and LG smart TVs later this year, with additional access on iOS, Android and the web.
