Edinburgh Rugby is pleased to confirm a pre-season friendly against Ulster on Friday 12 September, with kick-off at 7.35pm at Affidea Stadium in Belfast.

This fixture marks Edinburgh Rugby’s opening pre-season clash and will provide vital preparation ahead of the new campaign.

The match against Ulster precedes the highly anticipated Scottish Building Society double-header pre-season clash at Hive Stadium on Friday 19 September.

Edinburgh Rugby will host Doncaster Knights and Ealing Trailfinders in back-to-back fixtures, with tickets for this home event set to go on sale later this month.
