Your Sharks will go head-to-head with French giants Toulouse and South African side the HollywoodBet Sharks in the pool stage of the 2025/26 Investec Champions Cup.
The draw, which took place in Dublin today, saw Alex Sanderson’s men drawn in pool one where they will also face ASM Clermont Auvergne and Glasgow Warriors, who they lost to in last season’s pool stage.
Fellow Gallagher Premiership side Saracens make up the final spot in the pool but clubs from the same league don’t play each other in the pool stage.
The fixture schedule including exact dates, kick-off times and TV coverage will be announced in the coming weeks, but Your Sharks will face two opponents at home and two away.
The competition will kick off in December with two consecutive rounds of action, followed by rounds three and four on consecutive weekends in January 2026.
