Premiership releases 2021-22 season fixtures

Bristol Bears and Saracens will kick off the Brand new 2021-22 Premiership season when they meet at Ashton Gate at 17 September. 

Bristol Bears Director of Rugby Pat Lam said:  

"It’s great that Bristol Bears will host the competition curtain-raiser and better still that we will have fans back at the stadium again. Having the opportunity to welcome Saracens back into the Gallagher Premiership will be a fantastic spectacle for our fans and BT Sport’s audience too. 

"A capacity crowd at Ashton Gate, under the lights on a Friday night, always creates one of the best atmospheres in the country so we’re excited about getting underway." 

Saracens return to the Premiership after gaining promotion from the Championship and will be grateful to once again mix it up with England’s finest clubs. 

"As a club, we are obviously looking forward to the new season and what lies ahead,” said Saracens’ Director of Rugby, Mark McCall. “Playing at Ashton Gate first up will be a great challenge but one our group will relish."
