"Gloucester and Falcons" - EPCR Challenge Cup Fixtures Confirmed For Two Premiership Clubs

For the first time ever, a Georgian club will run out in the competition, with Black Lion set to mark this historic occasion. Currently, there are two sides from the Gallagher Premiership seeded in the 2023/24 EPCR Challenge Cup, in the form of Newcastle Falcons (Pool 2) and 2015 Challenge Cup winners Gloucester Rugby (Pool 3).

More Premiership sides may well join the Challenge Cup in the latter knock-out stages, if they are unsuccessful in their progression throughout the Champions Cup. The fifth placed side in each Champions Cup Pool will drop down for a second shot at silverware in the Challenge Cup, and join the Premiership duo of Gloucester and Newcastle.
