Edinburgh Rugby is delighted to confirm its highly anticipated Investec Champions Cup fixtures for the 2025/26 season, promising a thrilling European campaign for Sean Everitt’s side and the capital faithful.

Edinburgh will kick off their European journey with a massive home opener against French giants RC Toulon at Hive Stadium on Sunday 7 December, kick-off 5.30pm. This promises to be a spectacular start to the campaign, as Edinburgh look to lay down an early marker against one of European rugby’s most decorated clubs.

Sean Everitt’s men will then embark on their first away trip, facing Castres Olympique at Stade Pierre-Fabre on Sunday 14 December (kick-off 1pm GMT). This rematch follows encounters in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons, with Edinburgh notably securing a famous Investec Champions Cup away win against the French side in January 2023.

The new year will see the capital side return to Hive Stadium for a massive Friday night lights clash in Round 3, hosting Gloucester on Friday 9 January, kick-off 8pm. Edinburgh faced the Kingsholm outfit in both the 2023/24 and 2024/25 EPCR Challenge Cup campaigns, setting the stage for another compelling Anglo-Scottish encounter.

Edinburgh will conclude their European pool stage fixtures with a highly anticipated Friday night clash away to Bath at The Rec on Friday 9 January, kick-off 8pm.

This fixture is a rematch of last season’s thrilling EPCR Challenge Cup semi-final, where Bath emerged victorious 24-39 in a captivating encounter at a capacity Hive Stadium, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this contest against the reigning Gallagher Premiership and EPCR Challenge Cup Champions.
