Guinness PRO14 introduces Monday Night Rugby to its schedule for the 2020/21 season

The Guinness PRO14 has today announced it will break new ground as it introduces prime-time Monday Night Rugby to its schedule for the upcoming 2020/21 season. With the new campaign less than two weeks away, dates and times have been confirmed for the first eight weeks of action. In total, 14 Monday night fixtures will take place between Rounds 3 and 8, with scheduling aimed at preventing direct clashes with the extended international calendar – with Ulster kicking-off its Monday Night Rugby on 2 November against Cardiff at Rodney Parade. With the finale of the Guinness Six Nations and the Autumn Nations Cup taking place from October through to early December, the majority of Guinness PRO14 fixtures during this time will take place on Sundays and Mondays. Where possible, Monday night fixtures have been set across two time slots of 18:00 and 20:15 (both UK/IRE). Rounds 9, 10 and 11 of the Guinness PRO14 will feature derby matches across the UK, Ireland and Italy, and the scheduling for those games will occur in due course.
