This guide features details of all 63 European Rugby Champions Cup fixtures for the upcoming season.
The 2024-25 Investec Champions Cup will get underway on Friday 6 December as two-time winners La Rochelle kick off their campaign away to Bath, the 1998 champions.
Holders Toulouse will host 1999 champions Ulster as their bid for a seventh title gets underway on Sunday 8 December.
The Champions Cup features four pools of six – eight teams each from the Gallagher Premiership, URC and Top 14. Each club faces four different opponents in the pool stage.
The top four in each pool qualify for the knockout stage, while the four fifth-ranked teams step down to the EPCR Challenge Cup. The 2025 European finals will be played at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, 30 years on from the first final in the Welsh capital.
