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).
News below on a broadcast deal for the rugby league Championship to return to Premier Sports with EVERY game shown live. I assume when they launch, Premier Sports will be quite keen on a strong streaming service, as their schedules always look quite full with La Liga and URC.
The article also says it expects the Premier Sports-Viaplay deal to conclude after Easter now.
