EPCR have confirmed Munster's 2026/27 Investec Champions Cup fixture details.
The draw was made last Wednesday which revealed that Munster would face Bristol Bears, Gloucester Rugby, Racing 92 and Union Bordeaux Begles in Pool 3. The DHL Stormers are also in Munster's pool but we will not play the South African side as they are a fellow URC team.
Today, EPCR confirmed that Munster will be away to Union Bordeaux Begles and Bristol Bears while Gloucester and Racing 92 will be at home.
