Premiership Rugby, officially known as Gallagher Premiership Rugby or the Gallagher Premiership, is a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1987, the organization has approximately 80 employees and reported $79.1M in revenue as of 2025. Premiership Rugby functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company's main product is contact sports, operating as an English professional rugby union competition consisting of 11 clubs, and is recognized as the top division of the English rugby union system.
Premiership Rugby faces ongoing questions regarding its future structure, as the Gallagher PREM remains a single-country league while multinational competitions like the United Rugby Championship demonstrate success, prompting speculation on whether English rugby will adopt a cross-border model. This development follows news on April 15, 2026, that Exeter Chiefs are poised to secure new investment, anticipated to be American backing, with an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for the following month to approve the multimillion-pound deal, making them the latest Premiership Rugby club to attract fresh capital. Earlier, on March 26, 2026, the league announced a shift away from traditional promotion and relegation towards a franchise model, designed to bolster financial stability and elevate league standards, with plans for a salary floor expansion.
