The match details of the DHL Stormers’ four Investec Champions Cup pool matches for the 2024/25 season have been confirmed.

The DHL Stormers will host triple champions RC Toulon and English team Sale Sharks and play away against Harlequins and Racing 92.

Round One will see Toulon visit on December 7, with the venue still to be confirmed and the following week will see the DHL Stormers travel to London to take on last season’s semifinalists Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop.

Sale Sharks will play a pool match at DHL Stadium for the second consecutive season on January 11, with kick-off at 15h00 in the height of the Cape summer. The DHL Stormers then conclude the pool phase of the competition on January 18 against Racing 92 away, with the venue to be confirmed.

The fixture schedules were determined by using an algorithm which took into consideration the new, improved tournament formats, the outcome of the pool draws, league calendar restrictions, individual club calendar restrictions and broadcast requirements.
