How long after a rugby union autumn international match can we stream it on Discovery+?

Hi,

We are keen to watch many of the UK home teams in this year's Rugby Union Autumn Internationals which start on Saturday. We don't have Sky. But it seems we could get discovery+ premium on our Fire stick for a one month subscription of £30.99. We would have no use for Discovery+ after that so would cancel the subscription at the end of the month. 

I believe that during that month we will be able to stream the matches live but also to stream them in retrospect - ie watch a match after it has finished. I wonder how long after the end we would be able to watch them? Or could we watch them any time during our one month subscription? And how soon after th end of the match would we be able to start watching it?

I have tried Googling but have not been able to find the answer.

Any comments/help would be very welcome - thank you.

Depends on the agreement in place, if that is the option.  Be surprised if its more than a week at the absolute most.

The problem with sport in the package is its all geared round it being live and watching it live as that's the draw.  There's sort of not really much demand for watching it later unless you can timeshift it youself and its so easy to spoil your own result if you've not careful these days.

The Olympics on Discovery+ was "for a short time". Live and on-demand sports are available with the Standard and Premium plan says the website.
