The competition was broadcast by BT Sport for the eighth successive season and with five games also simulcast free-to-air on Channel 5. Highlights of each weekend's games were shown on Channel 5 for the final time, with extended highlights on BT Sport.

Summary

Harlequins won their second title after defeating Exeter Chiefs in the final at Twickenham after having finished fourth in the regular season table. No team was relegated this season after a moratorium was agreed.

Due to changes to the global rugby calendar implemented this year and the COVID-19 pandemic prolonging the 2019–20 Premiership Rugby season, this edition featured a later start and later finish and would take place over a reduced timeframe of 32 weeks.[1]

The season also featured a two-week break in January due to the suspension of both of the European Professional Club Rugby competitions.[2]

Rule changes

New regulations were introduced this season for games cancelled as a result of the pandemic or otherwise. A brief outline of the new regulations are:

  • All fixtures will be treated equally.
  • No round 1 - 22 fixtures will be postponed unless within the same weekend.

When cancellation is as a result of COVID-19 points will be awarded as follows.

  • 2 points awarded to the team responsible for cancellation.
  • 4 points will be awarded to the team who wasn't responsible.
  • The match result will be deemed to be 0–0

There are also changes to the regulations allowing the Testing Oversight Group to cancel matches.

Regulations for the semi-finals and final will be published later in the year.[3]

This season also includes a moratorium on relegation due to the effects of the pandemic.[4]

This season is the last under the current regulations before changes are made next season and again before 2024–25.[5]

Teams

Twelve teams compete in the league – the top eleven teams from the previous season and Newcastle Falcons who were promoted from the 2019–20 RFU Championship after a top flight absence of one year. They replaced Saracens who were relegated after twenty five years in the top flight following two large points deductions during the season.
