News Summary:

The Top 14 rugby season, overseen by the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR), returned on September 3, 2026. Previously, on June 3, LNR awarded all lots in its latest call for tenders to VOGO, solidifying VOGO's position as a key technology partner for French professional rugby by providing video and audio communication solutions for competition officials and stakeholders. This followed Stade Toulousain's appearance before LNR's disciplinary committee on May 26 over alleged breaches of the Top 14 salary cap regulations. Earlier in the year, on January 28, LNR joined Prem Rugby and the United Rugby Championship in discussions to revamp the Champions and Challenge Cups, with the intent to lobby European Professional Club Rugby for changes to the format.
