home @ away no matches league-wide

144 regular-season matches, Sep 25 – May 15. Schedule data from the United Rugby Championship, updated nightly.

The 2026-27 United Rugby Championship season at a glance

The 2026-27 regular season runs from Sep 25 to May 15: 144 matches, 18 for every one of the 16 clubs, which is 18 rounds of a double round-robin — everyone plays everyone home and away. The busiest stretch is October 2026, with 32 matches. The longest break in the calendar runs 33 days, between Oct 31 and Dec 4 — the grid keeps those columns in place rather than closing the gap, so a break looks like a break and not like missing data.

The grid is the point of this page. Reading one club's next three matches tells you nothing about whether they are about to play three weekends running against the top of the table while a rival has an easier month — reading a whole block of the season across 16 rows tells you immediately. The P column counts matches in the range you are looking at, which is the quickest way to spot who has matches in hand.

Home, away and results

A cell names the opponent. Home and away are distinguished by colour and, because colour alone excludes colour-blind readers, by an @ before away opponents. Weekends a club does not play are left blank. Once a match has been played its final score replaces the matchup, which is what makes the page worth coming back to during a season.

Kick-off times where you are

The United Rugby Championship is a league in two continents: its grounds sit in four timezones, from Ireland to South Africa. So there is no single league clock to convert out of, and a schedule that prints one time is printing the wrong one for somebody. This page detects your timezone and shows every confirmed kick-off in it, with a manual override in the “Times in” control. Because a grid column is the league's own calendar date, a converted time can belong to the following day where you are, and those carry a +1. Tapping a match shows the full local date, the ground, and the kick-off in the ground's own clock.

Frequently asked questions

How many matches are in the 2026-27 United Rugby Championship season?

144 regular-season matches, 18 for each of the 16 clubs — 18 rounds of a double round-robin. The season runs from Sep 25 to May 15. The play-offs that follow are decided round by round and are not shown on this grid.

When does the 2026-27 United Rugby Championship season start and end?

The regular season opens on Sep 25 and closes on May 15. The busiest month is October 2026, with 32 matches.

How do I see United Rugby Championship kick-off times in my own timezone?

They are already converted. The page detects your timezone and shows every confirmed kick-off in it, and the "Times in" control lets you pick another. This matters more here than in most competitions: the United Rugby Championship's grounds sit in four different timezones, so there is no single "league time" to convert from — a match in Durban and a match in Galway on the same afternoon do not start at the same hour anywhere. Matches whose time is not yet confirmed show a date only, rather than a placeholder that would move.

How do I read the grid?

Rows are clubs, alphabetical. Columns are single days, on a phone as well as a desktop — the grid scrolls sideways rather than folding a round into one cell. A cell shows the opponent; an @ and a separate colour mark an away match, a ? marks a kick-off the broadcasters have not fixed yet, and the final score replaces the matchup once a match has been played. The P column counts matches in the range you are looking at, which is how you spot who has a heavy stretch or matches in hand. Tap any match for its kick-off time and ground.

Where does this schedule come from?

From the United Rugby Championship's own published schedule, fetched once a night and rendered as static pages. Nothing is fetched while you read the page, so it loads at the same speed whether the league's own site is up or not.
