22/23 Champions Cup group stage schedule confirmed

The date, kick-off times and broadcast details for Edinburgh Rugby’s 22/23 Heineken Champions Cup group stage fixtures have today been confirmed by tournament organisers EPCR.

Supporters can now plan ahead and get set for four huge European match-ups as the capital club face English Premiership giants Saracens and Top 14 runners-up Castres home and away.

Edinburgh Rugby will begin their European campaign on the road to Saracens at StoneX Stadium on Sunday 11 December (kick-off 3.15pm) in a rematch of last season’s famous Challenge Cup victory in the English capital.

The North vs South clash will be live on ITV giving all non-travelling Edinburgh Rugby supporters the opportunity to get behind the capital side from home, free of charge, on mainstream TV.

Mike Blair’s side then have a six-day turnaround when they host Castres on Saturday 17 December (kick-off 1pm) in an unmissable European match-up, and the first-ever Champions Cup fixture to be played at DAM Health Stadium.

Edinburgh then travel to Castres in Round 3 where they’ll face-off against the Top 14 powerhouse at Stade Pierre-Fabre on Sunday 15 January (kick-off 1pm BST/2pm local), with the match on BT Sport.
