The Welsh Rugby Union has confirmed plans to reduce the number of professional clubs from four to three by 2028 as part of a major restructure of the professional game.

Under the proposed model, Cardiff Rugby and Dragons RFC are expected to receive the eastern and capital licences, while Ospreys and Scarlets will compete for the single western licence. The licensing process is set to begin in December and conclude before the end of the 2026/27 season.

The decision could reshape the future of Welsh rugby, with one of the country's historic professional clubs set to lose its place.
