The Premiership

ESPN has exclusive live rights to 43 matches per season from the Aviva Premiership, beginning this season and running through to 2012-2013. This includes exclusive live coverage of the Aviva Premiership Final and one of the two semi-final matches.

Additionally we plan to cover many of the 43 live matches each season on-site, from inside the stadia themselves using a custom-built set, capturing the rugby environment and adding a new dimension to coverage of English rugby on UK television.
