I am unsure whether to cancel my premiere sports subscription. Has anyone got news as to whether they have the NRL next year? I have heard that it may be going back to sky. I really don't want to have Sky again but if it is the only way to get League I will have to bite the bullet & sign up again.

[urlhttps://www.nrl.com/livepass/[/url if it's available in the UK is fantastic value.....Premiere don't have the rights any more, but are apparently showing the wolfpack games again.

It's available worldwide.

Premier are gonna lose subs that's for sure. I can see sky picking up origin again in 2018

Already cancelled my subscription. Easy enough to restart it if they do start showing them again.

From the website:
[i"Things you need to know: Charges apply after one week free trial unless you unsubscribe. Data charges apply. Live matches only available in Australia. Screen size restrictions apply for Tablet viewing. You must subscribe to access some services including live streaming. Requires compatible device and software. From 2018, State of Origin matches and the NRL Grand Final will not be available through NRL Live Pass."[/i

Short version:
As of 2018 you can only view it on a tablet or phone (previously you could get it on a PC or laptop)
Games only shown live in Oz - everywhere else full replays are available, but on delay several hours after the match is over
No Origin or GF

That seems very restrictive considering its a streaming service.

Cancelled my premier sports, hoping sky sports pick up the NRL, you’d have thought it would be good value for them, I doubt the UK rights cost much.

You will be able to sign up for the non-Australian stream for next year which will have every match. Not sure how much it will be. https://watchnrl.com/

I have emailed to tell them to cancel my subscription when the current one ends.

Then when they auto renew I have backup to get my money back.

Well done you I never even thought about the NRL deal ending when I renewed my annual subscription last month.

It is possible they will still have the Toronto games.

And the NRL deal still for the UK is still in the air, certainly for us punters anyhow so you never know.

Hi just as an update I have phoned Premier this morning and they confirmed they have lost the rights. So I said I signed up to watch the NRL only, they first off offered me Toronto (after last season I would rather stick pins in my eyes) I politely refused, so they said they will not renew my subscription NEXT YEAR, I was less polite not rude but I made it clear I wanted my money back. After consulting with a supervisor they said they would charge me in January but are cutting me off instantly, I was going to argue that I should be allowed use until my payment period ends but as there is nothing else of interest to me on premier I let it go.

At present my Premier player has gone already but the TV is still operational.

So in summary I am supposed to be getting around half my money back in around 28 days.

If Sky get the rights I really can't see them broadcasting every single match like Premier used to do.
Frustrating as I would quite like to see how Toronto go next season but I'm not sure it's worth the subscription just for that alone.

Yeah I think sky would show friday, Saturday and Sunday games. 3 per week isn't too bad although could be better.

Nowhere near as good as getting every game live on Premier though, think we were probably spoilt.
Shame they weren't prepared to carry on for us NRL junkies.

Rang and cancelled and confirmed they have lost Nrl, tried to keep me with promise of Toronto games

They should be paying you to watch the Toronto games!

And I thought they did pay every one to watch has punishment

How come so many posters on rlfans use 'has' instead of 'as'? Is this just a typo or genuinely thinking that's the correct word?

CORRECT

Yes, but the NRL are idiots so not really surprising.

Watchnrl is only available outside Oz, NZ and the ...nesias - certainly worth a shot.

They won't be allow to sign them all. They are not going to launch watchnrl.com then give all the games to TV anyway (Fox who run the app have the right to offer games to TV on uk market not nrl).

It'll be similar to Aussie rules who have all games and the fox afl channel on watchafl.com.au with three games on TV via bt sport.

I Expect Sky to get the Channel 9 games but with Fox commentary/studio instead of Ray Warren etc.

Do Sky not have he rights to champ games, sure it is part of the current deal
