Two of the most successful sides in English rugby meet in the last of this weekend’s Gallagher Premiership matches. Read on to find out how to watch Saracens v Northampton Saints live streams, wherever you are in the world today.
– Kick-off: 3.00pm GMT, Sunday 22 December
– Watch in the UK: TNT Sports (UK/Ireland)
– Watch from anywhere: Try NordVPN 100% risk-free
Both teams are loaded with internationals, won both of their European Champions Cup matches this month, and have a recent league title to their name – Saracens lifted the trophy in 2023, while Northampton Saints were number one in 2024. They’ve had differing fortunes in this season’s Premiership, however, with Saracens riding high in the play-off places, and Saints languishing in eighth place with a negative points difference. A win is unlikely to lift the visitors up the table, but it could re-establish them among the chasing pack. There’s the possibility of rain on a chilly afternoon in north west London, though strong winds are likely to have a bigger impact on the match.
This guide will tell you everything you need to know to watch Saracens v Northampton Saints today – including details of broadcasters in the UK and Ireland, the US, South Africa and Australia. We’ve also got information on how you can use a VPN to watch your usual streaming service if you’re travelling abroad right now. Scroll down to the end of the article for the team line-ups and the officials.
Watch Saracens v Northampton Saints live streams in the UK and Ireland
UK viewers can see all 93 Gallagher Premiership matches this season on Warner Bros Discovery’s TNT Sports network (formerly BT Sport). The broadcaster also holds the rights to show Premiership matches in Ireland.
You can watch Saracens v Northampton Saints live streams on Discovery+ today. The match is also available on TNT Sports 1.
A subscription to Discovery+ Premium (which gives you access to all the Premiership action, along with Champions League football and a selection of Premier League matches) will cost you £30.99 per month in the UK. Alternatively, TNT Sports can be added to your Sky, BT, EE or Virgin Media TV package – costs vary by platform.
ITV also airs a weekly late-night highlights show, Gallagher Premiership Unleashed. It’ll mean a late one on Boxing Day, though, because it’s on at 12.40am in the early hours of Friday morning.
Watch Saracens v Northampton Saints if you’re outside your usual country
Don’t worry if you’re going to be away from home at the moment. Fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
A VPN – or Virtual Private Network – is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television – even when you’re overseas. (Assuming this complies with the broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.)
The technology experts from TechRadar love NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it’s currently available at a knockdown price.
