The next generation is coming – and Forces rugby fans won't want to miss this

The future of forces rugby union will be on full show at the 2026 under-23s Inter Service championship – and you can watch every key moment live.

BFBS Sport will show every minute of this year's action live on the BFBS Forces News YouTube channel and on BFBS TV (for serving personnel overseas only) starting with a Royal Navy v RAF clash in Havant.

Last year, the RAF won their first title at this level for 19 years and will be hoping to retain their trophy when they kick off in Havant on 18 November, with coverage beginning at 18:45 UK time and UK Armed Forces head coach Tim Osman joining the broadcast.
