Bath Rugby will kick-off the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership season with a West Country derby against Bristol Bears.

Head of Rugby Johann van Graan’s side will visit Ashton Gate on Friday 9 September (kick-off 19:45) for the new campaign’s curtain raiser, a match which will be live on BT Sport.

The Blue, Black and White then return to The Rec with Sale Sharks and Wasps providing the opposition in back-to-back home matches to conclude opening month.

The return fixture against Bristol is scheduled for the final weekend in March with further local rivalries against Gloucester set for October (The Rec) and January (Kingsholm).

Over the Christmas period, Bath take on Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park and host Newcastle Falcons – dates for both matches, and fixtures past Round 10, will be confirmed at a later date.

In the latter stages of the Premiership season, the squad will meet Harlequins at Twickenham Stadium for their Big Summer Kick-Off event in their final away game before rounding the regular term off at home against Worcester Warriors early in May.

“The fixtures announcement always generates excitement amongst players, coaches and supporters – I am sure everyone is looking forward to what lies ahead.

“We are relishing the opportunity to open the season with a local derby before back-to-back home matches at The Rec where I know we will be well-supported.

“Before then, there is a lot of hard work to be done by everyone at the club and we will continue to build towards that first round.”
