Celtic Rugby followers can once again look forward to unparalleled TV coverage of Celtic League action this autumn with the release of the television schedules up until the new year.
Once again selected Celtic League games will be televised by Welsh language channel S4C, national broadcaster BBC Wales and international sports broadcaster Setanta Sports.

The highlight of the opening round of games will surely be defending champions Ospreys' clash with Irish province Leinster, the first Celtic League game to be played at Ospreys new Regional Rugby Stadium in Swansea, which will be broadcast live by both S4C and Setanta Ireland.

Over the first month 12 of the 22 scheduled fixtures will be televised live with at least two games broadcast each weekend.

The date and kick off times for most fixtures up until the end of the year have also been agreed, and with the Celtic League increasing in popularity - attendances were  up on average 10% on a like for like basis last season - Celtic rugby fans can once more look forward to an exciting time ahead.
