Champions Cup and Challenge Cup semi-finals kick-off times and TV coverage confirmed

EPCR has announced the dates, kick-off times and TV coverage of the Heineken Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup semi-finals.

Following a truly epic victory over Munster Rugby, holders, Stade Toulousain, will continue their Heineken Champions Cup defence with a return to the Aviva Stadium next Saturday (14 May) for what promises to be a mouthwatering semi-final clash with Leinster Rugby.

The contest between two storied European clubs with nine Heineken Champions Cup titles between will be live on BT Sport.

In the second semi-final, last season’s finalists, Stade Rochelais, will face Racing 92 in a heavyweight all-French confrontation at the 38,000-capacity Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens next Sunday (15 May) again live on BT Sport with additional free-to-air coverage in the UK and Ireland on Channel 4 and Virgin Media.

The first of the EPCR Challenge Cup semi-finals features No 1-ranked Lyon against Wasps at Matmut Stadium de Gerland on Saturday (14 May) and that match will be followed later the same evening by another high-class Anglo-French showdown between RC Toulon and Saracens. Both semi-finals will be live on BT Sport.
