The 2023–24 Premiership Rugby is the 37th season of the top flight of English domestic rugby union competition and the sixth to be sponsored by Gallagher.[3] The competition is being broadcast by TNT Sports for the eleventh and final year of their current broadcast deal,[4] with six league season games and the final also simulcast free-to-air by ITV.[5] Highlights of each weekend's games are to be shown on ITV, with extended highlights on TNT Sports.[6]

The reigning champions entering the season are Saracens, who claimed their 6th league title after winning the 2023 final.[7] No team was promoted from the 2022–23 RFU Championship, as the champions were not able to satisfy the eligibility criteria required to enter the league.[8]

Rule changes[edit]

The 2023–24 season is set to be the final year under the current Premiership competition structure, before a planned 're-launch' taking place ahead of the 2024–25 season.[9] As a result, the moratorium on relegation to the RFU Championship will cease and be replaced by a play-off between the team placed last in the Premiership and the team placed first in the Championship. Promotion from the Championship is therefore also set to be reinstated, subject to the winning club successfully fulfilling the RFU minimum standards criteria.[10]

This season is also the last year of the league's temporary salary cap reduction, implemented to keep the participating clubs financially solvent following the COVID-19 pandemic, with further regulatory changes set to be made for the 2024–25 season.[11]

Teams[edit]

The competition will feature 10 of the 13 teams which began the 2022–23 season. Two of the other three – Wasps and Worcester Warriors – were previously confirmed to be excluded from competing in the 2023–24 season, after both clubs were expelled from the league, upon entering into administration in 2022.[12] The final team – London Irish – had originally been due to compete, but the club was also expelled in summer 2023, prior to the start of the season, because of insufficient funds to continue operating.[13] As a result, the 2023–24 season is the first time the top flight of English rugby has featured just 10 teams since the 1995–96 season.[14]

For the second consecutive year, the top team in the Championship was ineligible for promotion to the Premiership, after 2022–23 Championship winners Jersey Reds failed to meet the minimum standards criteria to join the competition.[15]

London Irish administration[edit]

On 15 May 2023, London Irish were warned by the RFU that they faced suspension from the Premiership ahead of the beginning of the 2023–24 season, unless they met a deadline of 30 May to complete a takeover by new ownership, due to concerns about the club's finances.[16] On 31 May, the RFU granted the club a one-week extension, on the condition that evidence of funding for the 2023–24 season, from either the existing benefactor or the prospective new owners, was provided by 6 June.[17] On 2 June, HMRC issued a winding-up petition against the club, in response to unpaid tax.[18] On 6 June, after failing to provide proof of funds for the upcoming season, London Irish were officially suspended from the Premiership.[19] The following day, the club filed for administration, resulting in automatic relegation under RFU regulations.[20]

Regular season[edit]

The regular season fixtures were announced on 18 July 2023.[35] They are due to play out over the course of 18 rounds, with each round consisting of five matches.[36]

The league began on 13 October 2023, with the full season schedule staggered to start and finish one month later than the 2022–23 season, in order to reduce fixture overlap with the 2023 Rugby World Cup, which reaches the knockout stages on the same weekend as the Premiership's opening round.[37] A revamped version of the Premiership Rugby Cup, involving teams from the RFU Championship, was also announced to take place before the beginning of the Premiership season.[38] The Premiership season will pause for eight weeks between the ends of January 2023 and March 2023, to avoid any fixture clashes with the 2024 Six Nations.[39]

Highlights of the season include:

All fixtures are subject to change.[45] Referees appointed to officiate Premiership matches are employed by the RFU, unless indicated otherwise.[46]

Play-offs[edit]

As in previous seasons, the top four teams in the Premiership table, following the conclusion of the regular season, will contest the play-off semi-finals in a 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd format, with the higher ranking team having home advantage.[66] The dates and times for the two play-off semi-finals were announced on 11 May 2024, after the first two teams qualified during round 17 of the regular season.[67] The four qualifying teams were confirmed after the final day of the regular season, on 18 May 2024.[68] The two winners of the semi-finals then meet in the Premiership Final at Twickenham on 8 June 2024.[37]

Final[edit]

Promotion/relegation play-off[edit]

Subject to meeting the eligible criteria for promotion, the team which places 1st in the 2023–24 RFU Championship will contest a play-off against the team which finishes bottom of the Premiership table, with the winner competing in the following year's Premiership season. If the Championship winner is ineligible for promotion, no play-off will take place.

On 29 June 2023, it was announced that the promotion/relegation play-off would take place across two legs, with each team playing one of the matches at their home ground, during the weekends of 31 May–2 June and 7–9 June 2024.[70]

On 20 March 2024, it was confirmed that only Doncaster Knights would be eligible for promotion, should they top the Championship table. They were therefore also the only Championship team that would be able to compete in the play-off, if appropriate.[71] Despite winning the 2023–24 Championship, Ealing Trailfinders did not meet the RFU's minimum standards criteria, so no promotion/relegation play-off took place this season.

Leading scorers[edit]

Note: Flags to the left of player names indicate national team as has been defined under World Rugby eligibility rules, or primary nationality for players who have not yet earned international senior caps. Players may hold one or more non-WR nationalities.
