Heineken Champions Cup fixtures confirmed

EPCR today announced the dates and kick-off times for Rounds 1-6 of this season's Heineken Champions Cup.

Ulster will begin its European adventure with a mouth-watering home clash against old rivals Leicester Tigers on Saturday 13th October (kick-off 5.30pm).

The two sides have played out some memorable matches over the years, including a 26-7 home win for Ulster the last time they met in January 2015.

The squad will then travel the following week to play last season’s beaten finalists, Racing 92 at the magnificent Paris La Défense Arena.

Ulster face back-to-back fixtures against Scarlets, who made the semi-finals of last season’s competition and also reached the Guinness PRO14 final, in what will be a crucial December period.

After Christmas, Ulster will welcome Racing 92 to Belfast for a Round 5 clash, before concluding the pool stages with the return fixture against Leicester at Welford Road.

Tickets for all home fixtures will go on general sale on Wednesday 29th August from 10am at ulsterrugby.com/buytickets

Priority Booking » 2018/19 Season Ticket holders will have the opportunity to purchase additional match tickets for these fixtures from 10am on Friday 24th August.
