The Premiership Rugby Team of the Season, formerly known as the Dream Team, is an annual rugby union award presented to players in England, which recognises the most outstanding fifteen players in the Premiership each season, with one player selected for each of the fifteen positions in a rugby union team.
The first Team of the Season award was presented as part of the 2000–01 end of season awards. The award has previously been sponsored by Sky Sports (2001–2010), ESPN (2011–2013) and BT Sport (2014–2023).
Five players share the record for most entries in the Team of the Season, each having been selected four times: Toby Flood, Mike Brown, Mako Vunipola, Danny Care and Ben Earl.
The Team of the Season is selected by a panel of experts, including members of the Rugby Players' Association (RPA) and the media.
