Castres Rugby Schedule 2025--26: What To Know

Castres Rugby (13-2-11) faces a 2025–26 season shaped heavily by its schedule. The year begins with a home match against Pau and concludes with a visit from Toulon, bookends that highlight the balance between winnable fixtures and daunting rivals.

The sequence of matches offers both opportunity and challenge for a squad that prides itself on resilience.

The early weeks are particularly revealing. After opening at Stade Pierre-Fabre, Castres must travel to Clermont and Toulouse in September, followed by Racing 92 in early October. These road fixtures will test squad depth and discipline, particularly as the club seeks to improve on last year’s negative point differential.

November and December offer a return to home comforts, with visits from Bordeaux and Lyon. Castres traditionally relies on its home stadium as a fortress, and protecting Pierre-Fabre could keep them competitive in the playoff race. Spring fixtures against Toulouse and Lyon again underscore how much the club’s destiny will be decided against heavyweight opposition.

The question for Castres is consistency. Sixth place in 2024–25 demonstrated quality, but a repeat will depend on whether they can secure points on the road. With a squad featuring internationals and experienced leaders, they enter 2025–26 prepared to measure themselves against the league’s best.
