The full Vodacom United Rugby Championship schedule for the 2024/25 campaign are now available thanks to the first-ever in-season launch of the following season’s fixtures.
As the current campaign comes down to the most competitive final round in the league’s history, supporters can now benefit from the earliest-ever release of fixtures which comes 114 days before kick-off.
As is the norm, VURC fans across the world can download fixtures directly to their devices using this Ecal URC 24/25 link to ensure they never miss a kick-off no matter what time zone they are in. (Note: updates can take up to an hour).
September 20 will see the URC kick off with Leinster visiting Edinburgh and Cardiff hosting Zebre Parma on the first Friday of the season.
In South Africa, derbies will headline the Saturday games with the DHL Stormers and Vodacom Bulls meeting in a blockbuster game in Cape Town and in Durban, the newly crowned Challenge Cup winners, Hollywoodbets Sharks, will take on the Emirates Lions in what is sure to be a highly entertaining encounter.
Not to be left out, Wales and Ireland will also host derby games with Dragons RFC facing Ospreys and Munster battling it out with Connacht in Limerick. In Italy, Benetton Rugby will open their home fixture list against Scarlets while Ulster will host familiar rivals Glasgow Warriors in the opening round’s final fixture.
The sequence of home or away fixtures against non-Shield opponents is in year two. This means all fixtures from last season are reversed so that each team will complete their balance of home and away games against the same opponents over a two-year cycle.
Additionally, the earlier generation of fixtures will assist all teams in their cross-hemisphere travel with improved access to different seat classes and cost efficiencies related to bookings made further in advance.
