R360 is a new, rebel rugby league aiming to revolutionize the sport by creating a tier above traditional club rugby. Spearheaded by former England centre Mike Tindall, Bath executive Stuart Hooper, sports marketing executive Mark Spoors, and former LIV Golf lawyer John Loffhagen, the league is designed to disrupt rugby much like the Indian Premier League and LIV Golf have in their sports.

The competition will feature eight men's and four women's teams competing in a condensed season format, organized as 'grand prix' style events hosted worldwide. This structure enables a dynamic and fast-paced schedule intended to increase global appeal and viewership.

R360 has garnered interest and financial backing from diverse sectors, including individuals connected to the Premier League, Formula One, and the NFL. Funding sources reportedly include sports-dedicated investment funds and private investment from Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. City AM reports that R360 has already secured necessary funding to launch in 2026, with a goal to become profitable by 2027.

The league plans to hold events at prestigious international venues such as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Nou Camp in Barcelona, Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo, as well as locations in New York and Los Angeles. This global approach aims to raise rugby's profile and introduce the sport to new audiences.

Players like Roger Tuivasa-Sheck are reportedly poised to join, with earnings expected to significantly increase under the R360 contracts—potentially doubling his current salary of approximately $550,000 annually.
