We now know all the on-field referees appointed to take charge of Top 14 matches for the 2025-2026 season. There are 17 of them, 15 of whom were already officiating in the top flight last season.

For two of them, however, this will be their first year discovering the French first division. They are Pierre Bru (34), from the Gers and affiliated to the Occitanie league, and Benjamin Hernandez (37), from Auvergne and affiliated to the Auvergne – Rhône-Alpes league. Promoted, the two whistlers were operating in Pro D2 last season.
