Your Sharks will ramp up preparations for the 2025/26 Gallagher Premiership season with a friendly against URC side Connacht at Heywood Road.
Stuart Lancaster’s star-studded squad will make the trip to Sale Sharks’ original home on Friday 5th September (7.30pm KO) as both teams prepare for the upcoming campaign.

It will be the first chance for the Sharks Family to see new signings Nathan Jibulu, Marius Louw and Jacques Vermeulen in action in navy blue.
And while the visitors will be without British and Irish Lions Bundee Aki, Finlay Bealham and Mack Hansen, they will still boast plenty of international experience including Ireland’s Jack Carty, Caolin Blade and Paul Boyle.
Tickets will go on sale later this month but the exciting fixture will be included as part of a 2025/26 Sale Sharks season ticket. There’s still time to get your 2025 season ticket now!
The club will share further details with all season ticket holders in the coming days, but all 2025/26 season ticket holders will have a two week-long priority window to claim their ticket and buy any additional tickets before the fixture goes on general sale.
General sale tickets will be available at £20 for adults and £10 for under 17s.
The fixture will also represent the first chance for fans to see the team in the new 2025/26 Macron home kit.
