ESPN confirm Guinness Premiership deal

The Guardian site has confirmed that ESPN have bought the rights to show 43 live Guinness Premiership games starting from next September. As well as the 43 live games, ESPN will also show the Guinness Premiership final and one semi-final.

Sky Sports currently hold the rights to show 26 live games per season, and from next season onwards will share the Guinness Premiership rights with ESPN. So for any rugby fans, having both channels may well end up being a must. ESPN's deal will last for 3 years.
