Bulls the only ones that have not lifted the URC in blockbuster Semi Final Showdown

The BKT United Rugby Championship Semi-Finals will take place this coming Saturday, June 6 in Edinburgh and Dublin as teams from Ireland, Scotland and South Africa compete to reach the 2026 Grand Final.

Having won their Quarter-Finals Glasgow Warriors (1), Leinster (2), DHL Stormers (3) and Vodacom Bulls (4) have been paired off to see who will reach the BKT URC finale in three weeks’ time.

Semi-Final 1 will take place in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh at 14:30 UK / 15:30 SA where top ranked Glasgow Warriors host the Vodacom Bulls at Scottish Gas Murrayfield. It is the first meeting of the teams in the knock-out stages since the Scottish side claimed a famous Grand Final victory against the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld two years ago.

Semi-Final 2 will take place at 17:30 UK / 18:30 SA where defending champions Leinster will welcome the DHL Stormers to the Irish capital of Dublin at Aviva Stadium. The team from Cape Town became the first BKT URC champions in 2022 and this is their first appearance in the Semi-Finals since 2023.

The kick-off times allow for the possibility of Semi-Final 1 relying upon extra-time or a place-kicking competition to decide the outcome.

Both games will be live across the UK on Premier Sports and in South Africa on SuperSport.

In Ireland, TG4 will screen Semi-Final between Leinster and the DHL Stormers with Premier Sports also showing the game and the Glasgow Warriors match-up with the Vodacom Bulls.

Match official appointments and an update on potential Grand Final venues will be confirmed in due course.
