The competition will begin slightly later than normal, due to the 2015 Rugby World Cup taking place in England, and will be broadcast by BT Sport for the third successive season. Highlights of each weekend's games will be shown on ITV.The reigning champions entering the season were Saracens, who claimed their second title after defeating Bath in the 2014–15 final.Worcester Warriors, having beaten Bristol 59-58 in the Greene King IPA Championship final, replace London Welsh, who finished last season having not won a single game.This season is the first for several significant changes to the Premiership's salary cap regulations: The base salary cap, which was £4.76 million last season, rises to £5.1 million. The amount of "academy credits" available to each club—credits against the cap for younger players on the senior squad who were developed at the club—rises from £240,000 to £400,000. The number of "academy credits" remains at eight, as in past seasons, but the credit per player rises from £30,000 to £50,000. If a club is able to use all of its available credits, it now has an effective cap of £5.5 million, up from £5 million last season. Each club will now be allowed to exclude two players from the salary cap calculations, up from one last season. However, the two slots for what the Premiership calls "excluded players" differ in how they can be used. The first slot can be used on a player on the club's current roster. The new slot can only be used for a player who had not been in the Premiership during the 12 months preceding the start of his contract. In a change from the rules that prevailed from 2011–12 through to 2014–15, a player's presence on or absence from a Rugby World Cup roster is no longer relevant to his status as an excluded player.In addition to the above, a standard cap provision applicable only in Rugby World Cup years gives each club a £35,000 cap credit (up from £30,000 in the last World Cup season of 2011–12) for each member of the senior squad who participates in the tournament."@en }
