Champions Cup Fixtures – Rounds 1 To 4
14th August 2015 By Munster Rugby
The dates, venues, kick-off times and broadcasters for Rounds 1 to 4 of the 2015/16 Champions Cup have been revealed with Munster commencing their campaign at home to Benetton Treviso in Thomond Park on Saturday November 14th – KO 5:15pm.
Following the tournament Pool Draws, fixtures are decided by a scheduling process which includes consultation with the competing clubs, league bodies and TV broadcasters across each territory.
EPCR is challenged with producing a balanced and fair schedule which takes into account club preferences, restrictions at many shared stadia, date requests associated with moves to larger venues as well as ensuring that the broadcasters are able to cover as many matches as possible from Thursday evening through to Sunday.
