Worcester Warriors confirm formal submission of expression of interest to compete in Tier 2 Professional Rugby from 2025/26 season

Following a challenging period for all players, staff, supporters and partners involved with Worcester Warriors, we can confirm that we have formally entered the process to bring Rugby back to Sixways. 

A spokesman for Worcester Warriors, commented:

‘Whilst it has clearly been a difficult period for everybody associated with the club, we are fully committed to bringing a high-quality Rugby product back to Worcester. The support we have received from former players, the business community and the fanbase has been exceptional.’

The facilities at Sixways have supported elite rugby since they were built, and under new management they have become the in-demand destination for conferences, events and a multitude of sporting activity.

Naturally, we respect the process that the RFU has laid out and will update you on our new website as and when we have more information on progress. In the meantime, we will be hosting service and legend rugby matches from early 2025 and we are at an advanced stage with a possible return for Women's Rugby in Worcester, which forms an important part of our Rugby strategy going forward.
