The new 10-league team kicks off in October with matches set to be broadcast TNT Sports, starting with the Friday night opener between Bristol Bears and Leicester Tigers
Saracens will launch the defence of their Gallagher Premiership crown at fierce rivals Exeter when the new 10-team league kicks off in October.
London Irish, Wasps and Worcester have been lost to club rugby’s deep financial crisis, leaving a slimmed down schedule which gets underway on World Cup quarter-final weekend.
The revamped schedule ensures all clubs have one home fixture in the opening two weeks of the season, whilst round six of 18 features a âDerby Weekend’.
Matches will be broadcast on TNT Sports, formerly BT Sport. Highlights of all 90 regular season games will be shown on ITV, as well as seven full free-to-air fixtures and the Gallagher Premiership Rugby Final.
