"The start of the 2025-26 season in English rugby's top flight has arrived much the same as any other year, but with some noticeable differences. The Premiership has been rebranded the 'Gallagher Prem' for the new campaign and comes with a new logo too as part of a drive to market the game to more fans. It also begins with a Thursday night match on 25 September, between Sale and Gloucester, for the first time in its history."
"The European Champions Cup still eludes them and must be their goal for the forthcoming season, but the treble in all other tournaments last season was a massive achievement and rightly enters the record books. The club continues to bring in world-class competitors with Santi Carreras and Henry Arundel both joining, and the renewal of Finn Russell's contract adds even more depth to Bath's star-studded squad."
The Premiership has been rebranded the 'Gallagher Prem' and features a new logo as part of a drive to market the game to more fans. The 2025–26 campaign begins on Thursday 25 September with Sale v Gloucester, the first-ever Thursday kickoff. The competition still comprises 10 clubs, 18 regular-season rounds, play-offs and a Twickenham final on 20 June 2026. Commentary of every Prem Rugby game will be available on BBC local radio, via BBC Sounds and on the BBC Sport website. Bath are reigning domestic champions after a treble in 2024–25, have signed Santi Carreras and Henry Arundel, renewed Finn Russell, and will need Johann van Grann to manage expectations after attack coach Lee Blackett's move to England.
