Sanzaar confirms broadcast coverage for 2025 Under-20 Rugby Championship

Sanzaar has confirmed that the second edition of The Rugby Championship Under-20, that will take place in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), on South Africa's Eastern Cape, from May 1-11, will be broadcast by Supersport in South Africa.

Sanzaar can also confirm that the rights holder broadcasters from the participating nations will also broadcast the tournament matches live. In Australia the matches will be available via Stan; in New Zealand via Sky TV; and in Argentina via ESPN. In addition Digicel will broadcast the matches via its TVWAN sports (PNG) and TVWAN Sports 1 (Pacific) channels.

Sanzaar will publish official match highlights via its YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/SanzarRugby.

The Championship will see the latest generation of talent from Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa battle it out for southern hemisphere dominance.

Sanzaar CEO Brendan Morris stated, "The inaugural TRC U20 was a huge success and took place on The Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia in 2024 when New Zealand U20 won the title after remaining unbeaten. This year the best up-and-coming talent from the Sanzaar nations is on display in Gqeberha, South Africa and I encourage rugby fans in the region to head to Nelson Mandla Bay Stadium to witness what we know will be some exciting and very competitive rugby.

"Sanzaar sincerely thanks its broadcast partners SuperSport, Stan (NEC), Sky NZ and ESPN for their ongoing support of this important Under-20 tournament."
