Premier Sports has revealed its presentation team for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.
Former England internationals Leon Pryce, Kevin Brown and Emily Rudge will lead its analysis, with Super League pitchside reporter Megan Wellens as lead presenter. These four will provide studio presentations for England’s matches while match coverage will be taken from Australia’s Channel 7.
Channel 7’s commentary is led by Andrew Voss, who fronted Premier Sports’ coverage of the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, and James Graham, England’s most-capped player. Channel 7’s team also includes Kyle Amor, Trent Robinson, Luke Keary, Shontelle Stowers and Brett Kimmorley.
The 2026 tournament is taking place in Australia, New Zealand and papua New Guinea from 15 October until 15 November, and is being shown exclusively by Premier Sports. The broadcaster also aired the 2013 and 2017 editions, while the last one hosted in England, was broadcast by the BBC.
The tournament combines men’s, women’s and wheelchair competitions, with the opening match between defending champions Australia and New Zealand on Thursday 15 October, with kick-off at 10.05am UK time, live on Premier Sports 1.
On Saturday 17 October, England Women begin their campaign against Wales at 7.35am, followed by England Men against Tonga at 10.05am, in a double header in Perth.
