Prem Rugby shifts to franchise-style league, scrapping promotion

English Premiership rugby will scrap traditional promotion and relegation from the 2026-27 season, moving to a franchise-style system where clubs apply to join based on criteria including playing standard, finances, investment potential, infrastructure and geography; the league plans to expand to 12 teams by 2029-30, with teams needing a Champ season before consideration and demotion only if a stronger candidate exists. The move, backed by the RFU, aims to attract outside investment, improve financial stability and support the women's game, in the wake of past club failures and Newcastle's Red Bull ownership showing confidence.

The franchise model allows operators to make independent decisions, but customers may not be aware of this distinction. McDonald's corporate has prioritized the safety of its franchisees and made a $1 million donation to the Red Cross and the World Food Program. The lack of control in the franchise model poses risks in crisis situations, but McDonald's can maintain neutrality by not taking an official position.
