Forces News is the home of military content and a champion of the UK Armed Forces. Forces News produces, broadcasts and streams compelling content to anyone interested in the work of the UK military, and connects serving personnel across the world – from the Falkland Islands and Canada through to Brunei and Nepal – with home.
Meanwhile BFBS Radio will have extensive coverage of the Inter Service Championship across its worldwide network of stations, including on DAB in the UK and via the BFBS Radio app.
2024 also marks the first time that the world’s leading annual military rugby competition will be carried by the RugbyPass TV platform.
RugbyPass TV is the #1 destination for fans to watch everything from live rugby matches to exclusive shows and documentaries including unseen interviews and analysis from rugby's deepest archive.
Chair of the Inter Service Championship committee, Royal Navy Captain Sarah Oakley, says that global coverage of the competition is vital to ensure its continued strength and health.
“We are always grateful for the support of our broadcast partners, and this year we are delighted to be live streamed on both Forces News and RugbyPass TV,” she commented.
“Forces News is our longest standing partner, and everyone in the Armed Forces is grateful for the coverage they provide, both on YouTube and directly into military bases here in the UK and overseas.
“Radio is also important, especially for personnel who might not have access to a live video stream, and I would like to thank BFBS Radio for continuing to provide coverage, too.”
“It is exciting that RugbyPass TV, which is owned by World Rugby, is also including the Inter Service Championship on its platform, putting our matches alongside some of the best live rugby from across the world along with unique documentaries. On behalf of the committee, a massive thank you to everyone who has made this happen.”
The Inter Service Championship 2024 begins this weekend in Plymouth, with the Navy Mariners playing the RAF Vultures at Devonport Services RFC on Friday night (KO 6pm UK), and the Senior Men (KO 1pm UK) and Senior Women (KO 4pm UK) facing each other at Brickfields Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Tickets remain available for all three Inter Service Championship events, all including both the Mens and Womens matches.
