Today's Northampton vs Exeter live stream in the Gallagher PREM Final is the culmination of the 2025/26 season, with the Saints seeking a second title in three years and the Chiefs hoping to ruin the party like they did to Bath in dramatic circumstances last week.

With Fin Smith orchestrating the show, Tommy Freeman running in 15 tries, Henry Pollock entertaining the Franklin's Gardens crowd and captain George Furbank leading from the back, the Saints have undeniably been the best side in the rebranded PREM this season. Their formidable attacking line-up accumulated an unmatched 693 points across 18 games (an average of 38.5 per game) and then overcame Leicester Tigers with a 14-point victory in their semi-final.

Exeter's last-four encounter was a somewhat tighter affair. The Chiefs found themselves 16 points down to champions Bath at halftime, before tries from Ben Hammersley, Greg Fisilau and Ethan Burger set up a remarkable comeback to seal a one-point win. Finishing third in the table and reaching their first final in five years, Rob Baxter's men will no doubt relish their tag as the plucky underdog.
