Premiership Rugby to Trial Designated Away Sections at April Matches

The initiative aims to enhance match atmospheres and fan experiences while maintaining rugby's inclusive traditions.

The trial will take place during Saracens vs. Gloucester on April 19 and Leicester Tigers vs. Harlequins on April 26.
Away fans can choose to sit in designated sections or mix with home supporters, avoiding enforced segregation.
The concept, inspired by successful examples like Harlequins’ 2021 semi-final, seeks to create vibrant match atmospheres.
Stadium occupancy has risen to 81% this season, with an 8% increase in television viewership on TNT Sports.
Premiership Rugby hopes the trial's success will encourage more clubs to adopt designated away sections in future seasons.
