Worcester Warriors’ first game back in professional rugby will be a local derby at home against Coventry on the opening day of the new Championship season.
The match will take place at Sixways on Saturday, 4 October and will mark Warriors’ return to the sport for the first time since the former Premiership club were suspended from competition in September 2022 before entering administration.
Worcester also face Ampthill, London Scottish, Nottingham, Cornish Pirates, Richmond and newly-promoted Chinnor at Sixways before the end of the year.
They go to last season’s champions Ealing in their first game of 2026 on 3 January and finish the campaign with the return against Coventry on Saturday, 9 May.
