Rejected petition Keep the Rugby Union 6 Nations Champtionsip on free-to-air TV.

The Rugby Union 6 Nations Championship should be listed as a Group A event under the Broadcasting Act 1996, so that it is offered to free-to-air terrestrial television broadcasters on fair and reasonable terms. There is currently a very real risk the championship wukk disappear behind a paywall.

More details

The 6 Nations Championship is a national treasure, culturally important to all the nations of the United Kingdom. Getting tickets to a 6 nations match can be difficult and expensive, being beyond the means of many genuine rugby fans. Hiding it behind a paywall would deprive many fans access to international rugby. The home nations' summer tours, autumn internationals and most of the Gallagher Premiership are only available of a pay per view basis.
