Through their collaboration, RugbyPass TV content will now reach millions of households in the US and UK. The new channel will showcase RugbyPass TV’s winning blend of live content, including rugby sevens, original programming, documentaries, series, classic matches, and in-depth analysis. Of course, you must have access to the Samsung TV Plus, a free streaming service available on Samsung Smart TVs and Galaxy devices.

“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,” said Head of Samsung TV Plus EMEA Gus Grimaldi.

This partnership will help build excitement for the men’s and women’s Rugby World Cups in 2031 and 2033. On top of that, Samsung TV Plus users will be able to enjoy more sports content, making the platform even more engaging for fans. This is part of Samsung’s strategy to make its Samsung TV Plus a go-to platform for sports streaming. The Korean firm also recently expanded its live sports lineup by adding five new channels.

For World Rugby, this collaboration will help bring excitement for the sport to new audiences. “With the U.S. and UK 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,” said World Rugby Chief Executive Alan Gilpin.
