How To Watch Pau vs. The Northampton Saints Rugby Free Stream

One of the best Sundays of the Investec Champions Cup schedule will happen in Round 1, as the action begins with one of the best matches of the entire competition.

Pau, the No. 2 team in the powerful Top 14 league, hosts the Champions Cup runners-up in 2025, the Northampton Saints, at 8 a.m. ET on Dec. 7 at Stade du Hameau.

Pau could be even stronger with more of its international players returning and is coming off a whopping 53-33 win over La Rochelle — and that came a week after beating the defending Champions Cup winner, Bordeaux, 34-33 on the road.

Pau, nestled around the Pyrenees, is a legitimate threat to win the Champions Cup this season with an 8-0-3 record.

But so are the Northampton Saints. Armed with some of the best English internationals, the Saints made the final a year ago and captured the biggest upset of club rugby play — at least in Europe (looking at you, Moana Pasifika beating the Crusaders in Super Rugby). The Saints made the Champions Cup Final when they beat Leinster in Dublin in the semifinals.

The Saints didn’t have a great defense of their Gallagher PREM Rugby crown in 2025, but are contenders again with a 4-1-1 record this season.

Pool 4 was called the “Pool of Death” by FloRugby earlier this year mainly because, of the six teams in the pool, four are on the shortlist of clubs that can win it all — and five would be massively disappointed if they barely made the Round of 16, let alone missed it altogether.
