How to watch Premiership rugby and live stream every 2021-22 game from anywhere

For the first time in nearly three decades, 13 teams will battle it out for Premiership glory with Harlequins defending their first title since 2011. The ongoing moratorium on relegation makes 13 a lucky number for everyone, including viewers, who get to feat their eyes on four extra rounds! Read on as we explain how to watch a Premiership rugby live stream online for every 2021/22 game from anywhere.

Last season's Quins triumph was one for the ages. Playing for nothing in January, having suffered humiliation in the Champions Cup, left without a Director of Rugby - and then the fun began.

A switch to a more attractive playing style triggered a superb run of form that secured the league's final playoff place, but nobody could have predicted what would follow: an unthinkable recovery from 28-0 down in the semis, followed by a the toppling of the reigning champions.

Could anything like that ever happen again? We can certainly hope. The Bears and Chiefs will be driven by a sense of regret and opportunity missed, while Saracens are back and intent on offering a reminder of what the Premiership's been missing.

Brace yourself for impact and read on as we explain how to watch Premiership rugby live streams no matter where you are in the world.
