The 2021–22 Premiership Rugby is the 35th season of the top flight of English domestic rugby union competition and the fourth to be sponsored by Gallagher.[1] It is also the first since 1992–93 to feature thirteen teams. The competition will be broadcast by BT Sport for the ninth successive season with four league season games and the final also simulcast free-to-air on ITV. Highlights of each weekend's games are to be shown on ITV with extended highlights on BT Sport.

The reigning champions entering the season are Harlequins who claimed their 2nd title after defeating Exeter Chiefs in the 2021 final. Saracens were promoted as champions from the 2020–21 RFU Championship at the first attempt.

Due to changes to the global rugby calendar implemented in 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic causing a moratorium to be placed on relegation last season, the tournament features thirteen teams and will include an extra four rounds.[2] The season will take place over 40 weeks.

Rule changes[]

This season sees the second year of a three-year moratorium on relegation from the league.[3]

Salary cap[]

This season is the first under the reduced salary cap regulations before changes are made before 2024–25. A brief summary of the changes are:

  • Senior ceiling is reduced from £6.4m to £5m.
  • Homegrown player credits retained up to £600,000
  • International and EPS credits retained but limited to £400,000.
  • Season-long loan salary cap exemption is removed.
  • Academy ceiling for international players retained at £100,000 but with maximum salary increasing from £30,000 to £50,000. Homegrown academy players are not counted in the £100,000 limit.
  • For contracts continuing into 2021–22, the cap cost will be counted at 75% of their actual value to manage transition to the new caps.
  • Two players continue to be excluded from the salary cap for this season.[4]

Teams[]

For the first time since the 2002–03 Premiership Rugby season, all teams from the previous season will compete in the league together with Saracens who were promoted from the 2020–21 RFU Championship after an absence of one year, thus making a thirteen team league.[5]
