Champions Cup rugby returns to RTÉ this season, with the broadcaster announcing at least four games involving Irish provinces that will be shown on the free-to-air platform.
Four pool games - one per round - involving Leinster and Munster will be on RTÉ, as will four knockout games including the final which will take place in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin. In previous seasons, Channel 4 in the UK and Virgin Media Sport showed one free-to-air game during each round of the competition, irrespective of which teams were involved. A new agreement between EPCR and broadcasters ensures local markets will be able to watch their own country’s domestic sides.
BT Sport will continue to show every game in the competition. ITV will show one game involving an English side in each round of the pool stages while S4C will focus on the Welsh regions. The new arrangement will run until the end of the 2023/24 season.
