Exciting times for Welsh rugby fans! 🎉 S4C has just secured the TV rights for the United Rugby Championship for the next two seasons, keeping all the thrilling match action on free-to-air. Even though BBC Wales stepped back earlier this year, S4C has got our backs, ensuring we can enjoy every tackle, try, and triumph from our favourite Welsh teams.
Premier Sports may have taken over exclusive rights until 2029, but S4C will still air a live Welsh match each round. Plus, there’s an added treat with a second Welsh match available on a slight delay. 📺
Mark your calendars for the season kickoff: watch Cardiff battle the Lions live, followed by a delayed broadcast of the Scarlets against Munster. Across the season, S4C will bring us 20 live games alongside 18 deferred matches!
S4C has been a loyal broadcaster of the league since its Celtic League beginnings in 2001. Martin Anayi, CEO of the United Rugby Championship, lauds their vision and dedication, highlighting their role in bringing us unforgettable moments and legendary match-ups over the years. 🏉
Good news for language enthusiasts! All broadcasts will offer both Welsh and English commentary, accessible on S4C, S4C Clic, BBC iPlayer, and even S4C’s YouTube channel. This includes additional coverage from the Super Rygbi Cymru season too.
Get set for the action and cheer on our Welsh regions with S4C’s coverage. Don’t miss a moment of the 2025/26 fixture list. Let’s hope for a season filled with epic battles and unforgettable victories! 🎊🌟
