Live coverage is being shown by EPSN in the UK, and is beamed across the world, including France, Italy, the Middle East, USA, South Africa and in Asia.

"Every year we work hard to spread the gospel of rugby union across the world, and the number of countries in which the Final will be broadcast is a clear demonstration of the global appeal of Aviva Premiership Rugby," said Premiership Rugby commercial director Dominic Hayes.

“We're are particularly excited at the prospect of the Final being broadcast internationally in 3D for the first time with Sky Italia blazing a trail.
"This international coverage is in addition to live coverage in the UK on ESPN and in 3D through ESPN on Sky's 3D channel, while the popular ITV highlight show will ensure the Final is also broadcast on free TV.”
Highlights will be shown by Sky Sports 3 at 9.30pm Saturday, ITV4 at 11pm on Saturday and ITV1 at 11.15pm on Sunday.

There is also commentary on BBC Five Live and on BBC Radio Leicester (including online), and Talksport also have coverage.
