Premiership Rugby returns for another huge season of drama in 2022/23 with a full slate of televised games ready for fans to savour as autumn approaches.
Reigning champions Leicester Tigers begin their title defence with a clash against Exeter Chiefs in front of the cameras and fans will hope for a strong signal of intent in their first outing.
The action begins in Bristol as the Bears face last season’s rock-bottom Bath as they each bid to get their season off to a strong start.
Last season’s defeated finalists Saracens must wait until Round 2 for their first display on BT Sport as they face Harlequins in a rematch of last season’s second versus third semi-final. Saracens blew away their opposition on the day.
Fans across the nation and beyond will be keen to sink their teeth into a fresh season of top tier rugby, and they have 26 rounds to do exactly that ahead of the grand final at Twickenham in May next year.
RadioTimes.com brings you the complete guide on how to watch Premiership Rugby fixtures, including every game you can watch live in the UK and highlights.
