Federation has partnered with Samsung TV Plus to create the RugbyPass TV channel
World Rugby has partnered with Samsung TV Plus to launch a FAST channel for its RugbyPass TV platform.
The channel is already available in the UK, and will soon launch in the US as well. It will stream a mix of live international matches, features and documentaries, and games from the World Rugby archive.
World Rugby launched RugbyPass TV ahead of the 2023 Men’s World Cup, and its FAST channel comes ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup this August. It houses live, archive, and documentary content, for example airing live England games and partnering with the Lions tour this summer.
World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin said: “With the U.S. and U.K. representing two of rugby’s most important and promising markets, this exciting collaboration with Samsung TV Plus is a major milestone in our journey to grow the game globally. Through RugbyPass TV FAST, we’re bringing the excitement, diversity, and global appeal of the game to more fans, in more homes, than ever before.”
Head of Samsung TV Plus EMEA Gus Grimaldi added: “RugbyPass TV is a global leader in rugby content, and we’re thrilled to bring their first-ever FAST channel to Samsung TV Plus users in the UK. This launch not only enhances our sports offering but introduces a beloved sport to new fans by removing the paywall.”
