TORONTO, ON – The Toronto Arrows Rugby Football Club is pleased to announce that TSN has been named the team’s media partner for the 2020 Major League Rugby season.

Bill Webb, President and General Partner of the Toronto Arrows, stated: “We’re looking forward to working with TSN to deliver our exciting brand of rugby to fans across Canada for our second season in Major League Rugby. TSN has a proven track record of delivering rugby to engaged audiences from coast to coast to coast, including recently serving as Canada’s home for the Rugby World Cup 2019, and broadcasting our matches on TSN will help to ensure fans can connect with Canada’s first and only professional rugby union team throughout the season.”
