TORONTO, ON (September 24, 2026) – Crave announced today that its new original docuseries, ALL HEART: A RUGBY STORY, premieres on Friday, Oct. 9 when all four episodes are available for streaming. From producer Boat Rocker Studios, the series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Canadian women’s team and their journey through Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025. The series is set to be broadcast on TSN in the future.
Over four 30-minute episodes, ALL HEART: A RUGBY STORY highlights the culmination of years of sacrifice, hard work, and preparation by the women’s national team – a mix of veteran players, young rising superstars, and semi-professionals who play overseas. As the team pursued its history-making campaign, the players pushed through grueling injuries, fought for a position in the lineup, and battled global behemoths.
With unprecedented access provided by the partnership with Rugby Canada and World Rugby, audiences can witness a story of raw conviction and self-belief that transcends the sport.
Following the premiere on Crave, TSN delivers live coverage of the Canadian women’s national team as they host England – their opponent in the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Final – in The Rugby Rematch Tour, with matches on Friday, Oct. 16 at BMO Field in Toronto and Friday, Oct. 23 at TD Place in Ottawa. Both matches air live at 7 p.m. ET on TSN.
The series is produced by global entertainment company Boat Rocker Studios, in partnership with Bell Media’s Crave. Canadian Tire Corporation is Presenting Sponsor of the documentary series.
