Live coverage begins on Sunday 20 September as Cornish Pirates host Doncaster Knights in a standout opening fixture between the league’s two most geographically distant clubs, separated by almost 400 miles. Both sides enter the season with fresh momentum: Pirates following new investment from an American private equity firm and TV favourite Nick Knowles, and Doncaster under new Director of Rugby Dean Richards.

Coverage starts at 3.30pm ahead of the 4pm kick-off, with team news, interviews, half-time analysis and post-match reaction. Matches will continue live every Sunday in the same timeslot through to 22 November, with a one-week break on 25 October.
