The sporting event of the year is in progress in Japan: the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

The ninth edition of the competition takes place over six weeks, culminating in the final in Yokohama on November 2.

Here is how to watch the competition, with TV channel details of each match.

Who will be broadcasting in the UK?

ITV has exclusive broadcasting rights for the next two World Cups - the 2019 event in Japan and 2023 in France.

Which TV channel will each game be on?

Most Rugby World Cup matches will be aired on ITV, with the exception of 10 which will be shown on ITV 4 (see full fixtures list below).

How many people watch matches in the UK?

Well, according to ITV, there was a peak audience of 11.5 million for England's matches in 2015 against Fiji, Wales and Australia, and the final.

If you're planning to watch the tournament this year, we also have a guide on the best pubs and sports bars to watch the Rugby World Cup across the UK

What are the latest standings?

As the tournament continues, here's a basic run-down of how it works:

The opening group stage of the competition sees 20 teams attempt to battle their way out of four Pools - A, B, C and D. Each Pool contains five teams and only two can advance into the knockout rounds.

From there it is standard quarter-final, semi-final, final format.

Which games have been cancelled?

Due to Typhoon Hagibis, three matches have had to be called off - New Zealand vs Italy and Canada vs Namibia in Pool B and England vs France in Pool C.

Each team will take two points (a draw) from the abandoned games. New Zealand and South Africa have therefore qualified for the quarter-finals from Pool B, and England and France from Pool C.
