Here are 5 matches that FloRugby and you should be excited for in the 2025-26 URC season.
DHL Stormers vs. Leinster- Sept. 26 1:00PM ET
The season opener serves as the match that fills the rugby void that URC fans have been waiting for all off-season. As Leinster travels to Cape Town on Sept. 26, name a better way to kick off the season than by having the 2022 South Africa champions taking on the reigning URC champions.
DHL Stormers vs. Vodacom Bulls - Dec. 26 TBD
The holidays couldn’t come sooner and for URC fans the best present of all is a North-South Battle. With the nail biter of a match in 2024, which ended with a Bulls victory 33-32, the stakes are higher than ever. Who will come away victorious right before the New Year? Only time will tell in this historic matchup!
Edinburgh vs. Glasgow Warriors - Dec. 20 10:00 AM ET & Dec. 27 10:00 AM ET
Edinburgh and the Glasgow Warriors will go head to head twice in the same week of the URC season. The first time the two teams will meet is to close out Round 7 and the second meeting will come mid-way through Round 8. In the bitter rivalry between these two powerhouse teams, who will come out on top during the holiday season?
Munster vs. Edinburgh - Oct. 10 2:45 PM ET
Taking a step back into matches a little closer to the start of the season, Round 3 of the URC season sees Munster take on Edinburgh on Oct. 10. Both clubs will still be early in the young season, but this matchup could be a prime time to build momentum to propel a team through the remainder of the early season.
HollywoodBets Sharks vs. Leinster - Oct. 11 12:30 PM ET
The fifth and final matchup to be excited for in the URC season comes in the middle of October as the HollywoodBets Sharks take on Leinster. After these two teams saw each in March, the competition only continues to grow. With just seven months between the last meeting to now, the teams are ready to get back in action.
