EPCR today announced the dates and kick-off times for Rounds 1-4 of the European Rugby Champions Cup.
Ulster will begin its European adventure with a home tie against English Premiership runners-up Wasps on Friday 13th October (kick-off 7.45pm).
The squad will then travel to play competition newcomers La Rochelle, who enjoyed a remarkable season in 2016/17, finishing 8 points above Clermont Auvergne to top the French league standings. That game is scheduled for Sunday 22nd October at Stade Marcel-Deflandre (kick-off 3.15 UK/Irish time).
Mid-December will see Ulster face Harlequins in back-to-back fixtures at Twickenham Stoop and Kingspan Stadium.
After Christmas, Ulster will welcome La Rochelle to Belfast for a Round 5 clash, before concluding the pool stages with a mouth-watering tie against Wasps at the Ricoh Arena.
Dates and kick-off times for the final two fixtures will be confirmed after the Round 4 matches.
Tickets for all home fixtures pre-Christmas will go on general sale on Tuesday 29th August from 10am at ulsterrugby.com/buytickets.
Priority Booking » 2017/18 Season Ticket holders will have the opportunity to purchase additional match tickets for these fixtures from 10am on Friday 25th August.
