Premiership Rugby Cup fixtures announced

Premiership leaders Bath Rugby host Bedford Blues on Sunday, February 2, live on TNT Sports and Discovery+ in Round 4. Bath are three-from-three in the Cup competition so far, with Bedford, currently third in the RFU Championship, in excellent league form and eyeing a possible away-day upset at The Rec.

Bath have given 18-year-old Tyler Offiah and England U20 World Cup winner Vilikesa Sela game time in the opening stages, and viewers can expect to see more of the blue, black, and white’s up-and-coming stars on show in Round 4.

Round 5 starts with a Lancashire-Yorkshire cracker live on TNT Sports and Discovery+ as Sale Sharks host Doncaster Knights under the lights at the Salford Community Stadium on Friday, February 7. In-form Newcastle Falcons lead the way in Pool A at the halfway stage, with both chasing sides firmly in contention for a quarter-final spot with three rounds still to play.

London derbies between Harlequins and Saracens always bring intense drama, with the bitter rivals set to face off in the sixth and final round of the pool stages. Screened live on TNT Sports and Discovery+ on Saturday, February 15, The Stoop is set to potentially play host to an all-or-nothing shootout with qualification for the quarter-finals on the line.

The five Pool winners will progress to the quarter-finals and the three highest-ranked runners-up.

The seeded quarter-final ties will take place on the weekend of Feb 28 – Mar 2, with the semi-finals set for March 7-8. One quarter-final fixture and both semi-finals will be showcased live on TNT Sports and Discovery+. 

The Premiership Rugby Cup Final is scheduled for the weekend of March 15 at the home stadium of the top-seeded finalist and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports and Discovery+.
