Investec Champions Cup Final Highlights

The Northampton Saints enter the 2025-26 PREM Rugby season with optimism and expectation. Founded in 1880 as Northampton St. James, the club has evolved into one of the most successful and recognizable teams in English rugby. Their rivalry with Leicester Tigers remains one of the fiercest in world sport, and Franklin’s Gardens stands as one of the league’s most storied venues.

The Saints’ history includes triumphs in the European Rugby Champions Cup (2000), two EPCR Challenge Cup victories, and two PREM Rugby championships, most recently in 2023-24. With their academy continuing to produce elite-level talent and internationals anchoring the squad, Northampton looks well-positioned to again contend domestically and abroad.

This season’s fixture list features critical clashes, including an early East Midlands Derby at home against Leicester, a Boxing Day trip to Bath, and a late-season finale against Harlequins at Twickenham. With depth across the field, Northampton remain contenders for silverware and will be among the most closely followed teams on FloRugby.
