The Champions Cup opening weekend will see Clermont Auvergne take on Leinster at the Stade Marcel-Michelin on Saturday, October 17th, at 3:15pm BST. This fixture has drawn interest due to the teams' impressive records in the competition. Leinster has a history of breezing through the pool stages and knockout rounds, only faltering at the final hurdle.
They have reached the final five times without winning since 2018. Clermont Auvergne, on the other hand, has never won the Champions Cup but has made the final on three occasions, most recently in 2017. They have struggled in recent years, failing to make the knockout stages last season. Viewers in France can watch the match for free on France TV, while other regions can access streams through Premier Sports in the UK/Ireland, FloRugby in the US, SuperSport in South Africa, and EPCR TV worldwide.
