The Rugby Awards 2026, presented by Gallagher, will be showcased LIVE on TNT Sports and HBO Max for the very first time on Wednesday, June 10.

Hosted at the iconic Old Billingsgate in central London, the black-tie event will air live and ad-free from 9pm-10.30pm, giving fans uninterrupted coverage of the most-prestigious awards ceremony in the English rugby calendar.

Coverage will be fronted by members of TNT Sports’ on-air team with Craig Doyle and Emma Dodds as lead presenters, with David Flatman as the roving reporter bringing viewers behind-the-scenes access from the Red Carpet and exclusive interviews with the biggest stars from across the game throughout the evening.

The Rugby Awards brings together the leading figures from across English rugby to celebrate the standout players, coaches, clubs and moments from the season.

Shortlists for The Rugby Awards 2026, presented by Gallagher, will be announced on Thursday, May 21 with the winners revealed on the night live on TNT Sports.
