How to watch Worcester Warriors v Bristol Bears live on TV, team news and kick-off times

Bristol Bears travel to Sixways in Round 12 of the Gallagher Premiership to take on Worcester Warriors .

Unfortunately once again there will be no fans permitted inside Sixways due to the Covid-19 pandemic and national lockdown rules but of course the game is being shown live on TV and here are all the ways you can follow it.

What time is kick-off?

Worcester Warriors v Bristol Bears kicks-off at 5.15pm on Saturday.

Is the game on TV?

Yes. The great news is BT Sport have confirmed they will show every game being played behind closed doors during the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership season.

Today's game is being shown live on BT Sport Extra 1HD which is not one of the main channels so you will need to access the coverage with the red button, and can also be watched on the BT Sport App.

The coverage will start just before 5.15pm.

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.

How else can I follow the game?

If you can’t watch the game live on TV you can follow all the play-by-play action on our live blog on Bristol Live.

BBC Radio Bristol will also be providing live commentary from the game.
