22 Jan 2026

Edinburgh Rugby’s Investec Champions Cup Round of 16 fixture against Leinster has today been confirmed for Sunday 5 April, kick-off 5.30pm.

The capital side will travel to Dublin to face the Irish province in a highly anticipated knockout clash, with the match venue to be confirmed by the host club.

Supporters can follow all the action live on Premier Sports, while ticketing details for the trip to Dublin will be shared across official club channels in due course.

For those fans planning to back the team in person, interest can now be registered below for the official travel package through the club’s travel partner, Gullivers Sports Travel.

Sean Everitt’s side secured their place in the tournament’s knockout stages as the 14th seed following a hard-fought pool stage.

Edinburgh’s qualification was anchored by two statement bonus-point victories at Hive Stadium, where they defeated three-time champions RC Toulon and English Premiership side Gloucester.

Should Edinburgh progress to the Quarter-Finals, they will face an away fixture at Harlequins or Sale Sharks. Edinburgh Rugby will provide further updates on ticket allocations and travel arrangements as soon as they become available.
