RTÉ to join TG4 in broadcasting United Rugby Championship 

The United Rugby Championship kicks off in September where four of South Africa’s elite teams will join the 12 existing Guinness PRO14 teams to form a world-class league. 

Games featuring Irish provinces in the new-look United Rugby Championship will be available free to air to fans in Ireland. 

Tournament chiefs have this morning confirmed a four-year broadcast deal with RTÉ and TG4 agreeing to share rights to 52 of the 60 Irish fixtures every season. TG4 continues to build on their 20-year association with the Celtic League while RTÉ are returning to the competition for the first time since 2014.
