Exeter Chiefs are due for more global exposure after Premiership Rugby today confirmed the latest batch of TV fixtures in the top flight for Rounds 14 to 17.
As a result of today's announcement, some of our fixture dates and kick-off times have been altered.
ESPN will start the ball rolling by broadcasting our first-ever trip to the Salford City Stadium to face Sale Sharks on Friday, February 8 (7.45pm).
Eight days later Rob Baxter's men will be on the box again as Sky Sports record the opening of the new Allianz Park when the Chiefs are the first visitors to tackle Saracens at the Barnet venue on Saturday, February 16 (3pm).
Our home game against league newcomers London Welsh follows on Saturday, February 23 (3pm), although this game will not be televised live and will only form part of the weekend highlights programmes.
March, however, begins with us again in front of the Sky Sports cameras when our away trip to defending champions Harlequins gets beamed out on Saturday, March 2 (3.15pm).
With regards to our two final Pool 5 Heineken Cup fixtures against Clermont Auvergne and Leinster, kick-off dates and times will be officially announced on Wednesday.
