Viaplay/Premier Sports haven't officialy renewed the Championship rights yet. They pulled out of the sport last year, though the latest speculation from January suggested they could return. The Championship returns on Friday, but no broadcaster is confirmed as of yet.

On the subject of Viaplay/Premier Sports, has anyone seen or heard anything about when they rebrand? I remember seeing one rugby journalist say they were expecting it soon after the Six Nations ended, but I haven't heard or seen any hint of it yet (bar Viaplay Xtra's demise).
