Montpellier Rugby Schedule 2025--26: What To Know

Montpellier Hérault Rugby (12-0-14) opens a demanding 2025–26 slate with a rivalry match that should frame the club’s intentions for the year. The schedule mixes early home opportunities with taxing spring road trips, so banking points at GGL Stadium is essential.

This group has the pieces to grind out results: a reinforced pack, veteran playmakers in the halves and strike runners who can tilt field position. The question is less about talent than timing—how quickly combinations settle and whether discipline holds in tight minutes.

Montpellier’s calendar gives them periodic breathers, but there are few stretches without jeopardy. Toulouse shows up twice after New Year’s, La Rochelle arrives late in April and Bordeaux appears at Chaban-Delmas in May. That sequence will reveal the club’s ceiling.

Before that gauntlet, the autumn run offers definition. If Montpellier exits November with momentum, a top-half push remains realistic; if not, the closing weeks turn into rescue work. Either way, the path is clear: protect home turf, split the coin-flip games, and avoid skids.
