London Welsh have an added incentive to maintain their Aviva Premiership status.
The league is to be televised exclusively on BT from next season, in a £152m deal.
The four-year contract will see BSkyB and ESPN, who split coverage of matches, replaced as the only platform on which to watch top-flight English club rugby.
“This is a game-changing agreement,” said Mark McCafferty, chief executive of Premiership Rugby.
