Founded in 1987, the organization has approximately 80 employees and reported $79.1M in revenue as of 2025. Premiership Rugby functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company's main product is contact sports, operating as an English professional rugby union competition consisting of 11 clubs, and is recognized as the top division of the English rugby union system.
Exeter Chiefs is set to secure fresh investment, with American backing anticipated at Sandy Park, pending approval of a multimillion-pound deal at an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for April 2026. This follows Premiership Rugby signaling a shift in March 2026 towards a franchise model designed to bolster financial stability and elevate league standards, moving away from traditional promotion and relegation. Earlier, in February 2026, the RFU Council overwhelmingly voted to abolish automatic promotion and relegation between the Premiership and Championship Rugby, replacing it with a criteria-based expansion model that will keep the top flight at 10 teams until at least the 2029/30 season, with a target to grow to 12 teams.
