Rugby returns to the capital in September as Edinburgh gear up for a high-octane pre-season double-header against English Championship sides Doncaster Knights and Ealing Trailfinders. The matches, hosted at Hive Stadium on Friday 19 September, are now on general sale.
In a unique evening of back-to-back action, fans will be treated to two matches for the price of one, with Edinburgh taking on Doncaster at 5pm before facing Ealing in a later 8pm kick-off. One ticket grants access to both fixtures, making it an excellent chance to catch a full evening of rugby in one setting.
The double-header will mark the first outing for several of the club’s new signings and provide an early glimpse of Edinburgh’s 2025/26 Macron kit in competitive action. It also offers supporters a closer look at the full senior squad, with valuable minutes expected across both games for established stars and rising talent alike.
A strong academy presence is also anticipated, giving fans a look at the next generation of Edinburgh Rugby players pushing for senior opportunities.
For 2025/26 season ticket holders, access to both fixtures is included as part of the membership. Those yet to secure a season ticket can still do so through the club’s official channels.
With the new campaign fast approaching, this double-header promises to be the perfect curtain-raiser. Tickets are available now – don’t miss the chance to be part of a big night under the lights at Hive Stadium.
