European quarter-finals postponed

16/03/2020

The Board of European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) has decided that this season’s Heineken Champions Cup and European Challenge Cup quarter-final matches will NOT now be played on the scheduled dates of 3/4/5 April.

Amid growing public health concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was taken during a conference call today (Monday) to postpone the eight matches on the weekend in question and to suspend the European club rugby season.

This includes the scheduled fixture between Dragons and Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate Stadium clash on Sunday, April 5 (kick-off 12.45pm).

While respecting all further directives by governments and local authorities, EPCR, in conjunction with the relevant leagues and unions, remains committed to trying to find a solution which will enable it to complete the 2019/20 Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup tournaments at such a time as that aligns with preventative measures undertaken by an overwhelming majority of sport’s governing bodies and tournament organisers in Europe.

EPCR’s priority is the health and welfare of players and club staff, and an update regarding the knockout stages of the tournaments will be communicated to all stakeholders as soon as practicable.

Ticketing Information:

All ticket holders for our quarter-final fixture are advised to retain their tickets ahead of any proposed re-scheduled date. We will communicate to ticket holders a refund policy in the event of the game being cancelled.
