Rugby union and rugby league fans in the UK are spoilt for choice when it comes to live coverage — but that coverage is split across multiple broadcasters, making it expensive to follow. With IPTV, you get every rugby channel in one subscription for a fraction of the combined cost.
Where Is Rugby Shown in the UK?
Rugby coverage in the UK is split across three broadcasters. The BBC and ITV show the Six Nations live and free-to-air, and both channels are included in Smooth Stream. Sky Sports covers Premiership Rugby, the Champions Cup, the Challenge Cup, international autumn tests and Super Rugby. TNT Sports also carries European rugby and selected internationals. Both Sky Sports and TNT Sports are fully included in Smooth Stream IPTV.
Watch the Six Nations Live on IPTV
The Six Nations is the biggest annual rugby union tournament and one of the most-watched sporting events in the UK. England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy compete across five weekends from February to March. The BBC and ITV share the broadcasting rights, and both channels are included in Smooth Stream IPTV — so you watch every Six Nations match live, free of any extra charge.
Premiership Rugby on IPTV
The Gallagher Premiership is the top tier of English club rugby and is broadcast live on Sky Sports. With Smooth Stream IPTV you get every Premiership Rugby match live throughout the season — regular season fixtures, play-off semi-finals and the Premiership Final at Allianz Stadium. Same commentary, same analysis, same match coverage as Sky Sports.

See plansChampions Cup and Challenge Cup on IPTV
The Heineken Champions Cup is Europe's premier club rugby competition, broadcast on TNT Sports and Sky Sports. The EPCR Challenge Cup is also shown on the same channels. Both TNT Sports and Sky Sports are included in Smooth Stream, so you follow your club from the pool stages through to the final in Marseille or wherever it is held that year.
Autumn Internationals and Summer Tests on IPTV
England's autumn internationals at Twickenham are split between TNT Sports and Amazon Prime. TNT Sports matches are fully covered by Smooth Stream. Summer tours and other international tests broadcast on Sky Sports are also included. For any matches on Amazon Prime or free-to-air channels, those are available through their respective apps or channels within Smooth Stream.
Rugby League on IPTV
Rugby league fans are well served by IPTV too. Sky Sports holds the rights to Super League, the Challenge Cup and international rugby league. All Sky Sports rugby league coverage is included in Smooth Stream — watch every Super League round, every play-off and every Challenge Cup final live.
