How to watch Leicester Tigers v Bristol Bears live on TV for free, team news and odds

Bristol Bears face Leicester Tigers in Round 21 of the 2020/21 Gallager Premiership looking to secure an all-important home semi-final in the play-offs having been league leaders since early January.

The fantastic news is fans are now back in stadiums in limited numbers but the equally good news is games are also being shown live on TV still.

Here are all the ways you can follow the action...

What time is kick-off?

Leicester Tigers v Bristol Bears kicks-off at 3pm on Saturday, June 5.

Is the game on TV?

Yes. The great news is BT Sport have confirmed they will show every game during the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership season, even with fans back in stadiums now.

As a bonus today's game is also being shown live on free terrestrial television on Channel 5, with coverage starting at 2.30pm.

The match is also being live on BT Sport Extra 2HD which is not one of the broadcaster's main channels so you will need the red button and can also be watched on the BT Sport App.

The coverage on BT will start at 2.30pm.

Through an agreement between Premiership Rugby and BT Sport, eligible club season ticket holders will gain free access to home Gallagher Premiership matches on the BT Sport App. The BT Sport Match Pass is designed for season ticket holders of participating clubs who do not already have a BT Sport subscription and who cannot attend their home matches due to the current restrictions.
