27 January 2026
Ospreys, Y11 and Swansea Council today confirmed they are continuing to work constructively to assess options for the Ospreys to play at St Helens next season.
Ongoing discussions are centred on finding solutions that are realistic, sustainable and aligned with the best interests of rugby in Swansea, the local community and all stakeholders. All parties share a clear ambition to secure the long‑term future of the Ospreys as a Swansea‑based regional team.
In addition, Swansea Council remains committed to the wider redevelopment of St Helens, but this is dependent on confirmation that the Ospreys will continue to compete as a top‑tier regional team at the venue well beyond 2027. Until that commitment is secured, partners will continue to explore what is possible to facilitate the Ospreys’ return to the historic St Helens ground next season.
Both the Ospreys and Swansea Council remain committed to open, constructive and ongoing dialogue.
