Montauban Rugby Schedule 2025--26: What To Know

Montauban Rugby’s return to the Top 14 brings with it a demanding schedule that will define their season. After finishing sixth in the Pro D2 with a 17-0-13 record and securing promotion, the team enters the elite league facing familiar names and new challenges.

The shift from Pro D2 to Top 14 is often steep, but Montauban has been preparing for the transition with roster additions and strategic planning.

The 2025–26 season begins in Paris against Stade Français, an opponent steeped in tradition. That opener is followed by a run of home games at Stade Sapiac, which will be crucial for Montauban to establish confidence early. Playing in front of a supportive base could provide an edge as the squad adapts to the faster pace and physical style of the Top 14.

The club’s history provides perspective on this moment. Montauban last lifted a major trophy in 1967, when they claimed the French championship. More recently, their path has been defined by setbacks, including relegation and financial turmoil, but their resilience has been rewarded with a return to the top flight. This schedule offers a chance to measure progress not only against mid-table rivals but also against perennial contenders.

Beyond the prestige fixtures against Toulouse and La Rochelle, Montauban must also be mindful of games against fellow survival candidates. Points won in those matchups often mean the difference between staying in the Top 14 and sliding back to Pro D2. Balancing ambition with pragmatism will be essential throughout the year.
