Details of the new Gallagher Premiership season and Premiership Rugby Cup group stages have been announced today, with Tigers going to the South-West in the first game since lifting the 2021/22 trophy at Twickenham in June.
Tigers Head Coach Steve Borthwick said: “We are very excited for the new Gallagher Premiership Rugby season and the challenges that come with being a part of one of rugby’s most competitive leagues.
“Kicking off our campaign away from home against a quality outfit like Exeter Chiefs will be a great opportunity to test ourselves from the opening round against a side of their calibre, before being back at Mattioli Woods Welford Road with all of our supporters in the second round for an exciting clash with Newcastle Falcons.”
