The 2026-27 Prem rugby season will revert to a Friday night start on 25 September having begun on a weeknight this season for the first time in its history.

The Prem opened with a Thursday night game at the start of the current campaign to avoid a clash with the Women's World Cup final.

Next season's final will be held at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday, 19 June 2027.

The 2026-27 campaign will see promotion and relegation within the top tier officially scrapped as part of a series of changes to the league voted through in February.

Although there has been no promotion or relegation in English rugby's top flight since 2020 and 2021, when Saracens went down to the Champ and then secured an immediate return, the rules still allowed it if clubs met certain criteria.
