RugbyPass TV to exclusively broadcast England games with France XV and USA

RugbyPass TV has been confirmed as the exclusive platform for live coverage of England XV v France XV at London’s Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 21 June, and the England men’s test match against the USA at Audi Field in Washington DC on Saturday, 19 July.

The matches will be available to stream free-of-charge via the RugbyPass TV website and app, continuing World Rugby’s strategy of offering direct-to-consumer coverage following last year’s England v Japan fixture, which drew over 500,000 unique viewers.

The England XV v France XV match will kick off at 15:15 BST in London, while USA v England is scheduled for 22:00 BST in Washington DC. Broadcast availability for the England XV v France XV game will exclude France, while the USA v England fixture will not be shown on RugbyPass TV within the United States, where CBS Sports holds domestic rights.

The arrangement forms part of World Rugby’s broader plans to expand rugby’s reach in the United States ahead of hosting the men’s and women’s Rugby World Cups in 2031 and 2033 respectively. World Rugby continues to work with national unions to develop fixtures, enhance content, and build global fan engagement.

England Rugby Marketing Director Ewan Turney said: “It’s great to extend our established partnership with World Rugby to offer all supporters in the UK and Ireland more free-to-air coverage via RugbyPass TV.

“We know that younger audiences are gravitating towards streaming platforms, with fans watching matches across a variety of devices.

“These two matches are not only a key part of our summer series but also play an important role in the team’s development cycle as we build towards the next Rugby World Cup.”

World Rugby Director of Media and USA Commercial, Dom Hayes, said: “Following our successful live coverage of Japan v England, we’re excited to collaborate with England Rugby and USA Rugby to broadcast these matches on our free-to-access RugbyPass TV platform.

“This is central to our mission to grow and convert audiences in key growth markets like the USA and deepen our relationship with fans around the world. We are committed to making world-class rugby content more accessible, and we look forward to continuing to deliver premium coverage in collaboration with our national unions.”

RugbyPass TV programming also includes the Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025, the Pacific Nations Cup, the World Rugby U20 Championship in Italy, the Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship, and the Rugby Africa Women’s Cup. Additional programming announcements are expected in due course.

RugbyPass is also the official content hub for the British & Irish Lions 2025 tour to Australia.
