About our Premiership Rugby news
Latest news on Premiership Rugby, including matches, transfers, and comprehensive coverage of England's elite rugby union competition, now featuring 10 top-flight clubs.
The Gallagher Premiership, England's premier professional rugby union competition, currently features 10 elite clubs competing at the highest level of domestic rugby. The league's current champions are Northampton Saints, who secured their second title in 2024, while teams like Saracens, Leicester Tigers, and Sale Sharks continue to be among the competition's strongest performers.
Recent developments have seen significant structural changes to enhance the league's sustainability. Following the 2022-23 season, which saw the exits of Worcester Warriors and Wasps due to financial challenges, and London Irish's departure ahead of the 2023-24 season, the competition now operates with 10 teams. A new eight-year Men's Professional Game Partnership was agreed in 2024 between the RFU, Premiership Rugby, and the RPA, aimed at strengthening the professional game's foundations.
The league continues to showcase thrilling rugby action across England's historic venues, with notable events including 'The Showdown' at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and 'The Big Game' at Allianz Stadium. Community engagement remains strong, with clubs maintaining deep-rooted local connections and developing grassroots rugby through their academies and community programmes. The 2024-25 season has introduced innovative fixtures like Bristol's 'Big Day Out' at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
Since its inception in 1987, Premiership Rugby has evolved significantly. Leicester Tigers lead with 11 titles, while recent years have seen greater competitive balance, with five different winners in five years stretching from 2019-20 to 2023-24. The competition maintains strict financial regulations, including a salary cap system, to ensure long-term sustainability while preserving its position as one of the world's leading rugby competitions.
