2025/26 Champ Rugby Fixture Announcement

Posted: 10th July 2025
 

Boxing Day rugby returns to Goldington Road as Bedford Blues’ fixtures for the 2025/26 Champ Rugby campaign are out!

Blues begin at home for the third season running when hosting Ealing Trailfinders in a battle between last season’s first and second placed teams on Saturday 4^th October. The match will be live streamed as part of two feature games on opening weekend (KO 4pm).

Tough trips to rivals Coventry and Ampthill come in the opening four rounds of action, broken up by our annual Ladies Day festivities in a home tie against Hartpury on Saturday 18^th October.

The first Friday night fixture on home soil sees Doncaster Knights arrive on Halloween, while our only home game in November is also under lights against Caldy on Friday 14^th as part of our Memorial celebrations.  

Rounding off 2025 sees three mouthwatering ties at Goldington Road, starting with the visit of Cambridge in early December for our festive bash, before the calendar year ends with back-to-back home matches against returning Worcester Warriors on the week before Christmas and Richmond on Boxing Day.

At the turn of the year, Blues will start on the road seeking a first ever victory at Kingsey Road against Chinnor, before welcoming Coventry in January, followed by Ampthill and London Scottish in February.

March, April and May are all scheduled to have just one home fixture, all of which on Saturdays, however Mike Rayer’s men will be targeting involvement in the post season play-off structure which begins from the weekend of 16^th May.  

For the second time in three seasons, Blues will end the league campaign on the road at Ealing.
