[1] Although there are no stipulations on player selection, the cup will be seen by many clubs as a development competition, and games will take place during the Autumn internationals and during the Six Nations.
Worcester Warriors entered the competition as reigning champions, becoming the third winners of the Premiership Cup when they defeated London Irish by virtue of scoring more tries in a 25–25 draw at the Brentford Community Stadium in the 2021–22 final.
The competition consists of the thirteen Premiership Rugby teams arranged in three pools.
The winners of the semi-finals will then meet at the final in May 2023 to be held at the home ground of the highest ranked remaining team.
Greater London Notes: The matches in Round 6 were not part of the initial schedule of the competition, and were instead added to the fixture list to ensure that each team played the same number of matches following Worcester Warriors and Wasps being unable to complete their allotted fixtures.
