Mark your calendars, rugby enthusiasts! The Premiership Rugby Cup is back with a vengeance on September 12, igniting the 2025 season with an opening night that promises hard hits and fierce competition. As the 12 elite Premiership teams prepare to battle it out, all eyes will be on the opening clashes, particularly the intriguing face-off between Newcastle Red Bulls and Harlequins at 7:45 PM. But that's just the beginning of a thrilling weekend of rugby.
Friday night lights will see Gloucester and Exeter go head-to-head at 7:30 PM, setting the stage for the rest of the weekend. Continuing the action on Saturday, the Leicester Tigers will lock horns with Saracens, and Sale will challenge Bristol, both at 3 PM. Each match not only offers a chance to start the season with a win but also sets the tone for the campaigns ahead.
For those unable to attend the games in person, TNT Sports has got you covered. Having snagged the broadcasting rights for Premiership rugby this year, TNT will air select matches, including the highly anticipated game at Newcastle. Rugby fans can stream all weekend's action by signing up for a TNT monthly pass through their Amazon Prime account, with subscriptions available via Discovery+, now under the TNT umbrella.
"The excitement for the season kickoff is palpable. We're all geared up and ready to bring our best game to the forefront," shared a Newcastle Red Bulls spokesperson.
As the teams gear up for their first encounters, the stakes are particularly high for Bath Rugby, the defending champions, who are eyeing the hefty £500,000 prize yet again. Their journey begins on September 20 against Exeter at the Recreation Ground, a match that will surely be a highlight of the early season fixtures.
The Premiership Rugby Cup not only serves as a precursor to the regular season but also groups the 12 teams into three competitive pots, ensuring every match is charged with intensity and the promise of high-level rugby. It's more than just a tournament; it's a showcase of strength, strategy, and the spirit of rugby.
Teams participating in this weekend's fixtures include Gloucester, Exeter, Newcastle Red Bulls, Harlequins, Leicester Tigers, Saracens, Sale, and Bristol.
