Leicester Tigers will kick off the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership season with a home game against Gloucester Rugby on Saturday, November 21.

Two rounds of European competition follow before a Boxing Day trip to promoted Newcastle Falcons, a New Year fixture at home to Bath Rugby on Sunday, January 3 and then opening derby of the season, away to Northampton on January 9.
After another two rounds of the re-formatted European season, there are nine consecutive Premiership weekends – including home dates with Sale Sharks, Worcester Warriors, Wasps, London Irish and Newcastle – up to the European knockout weekends in April.
Northampton’s trip to Welford Road is in Round 17 during April and the final home game is against Bristol Bears in early June before a Round 22 trip to Wasps.
