Champions Leicester Tigers will provide the first test for the Exeter Chiefs in this season’s Gallagher Premiership.
The Chiefs will entertain Steve Borthwick’s side in a mouth-watering opener to the 2022/23 campaign at Sandy Park on Saturday, September 10 (3pm).
It will be the first of three televised clashes for the Devonians in the opening three weeks of the season on BT Sport.
Having kicked off against the Tigers, the Chiefs will then visit Worcester Warriors in Round Two on Sunday, September 18 (3pm) before playing host to Harlequins a week later in Round Three, again another 3pm start.
October begins with a testing trip to the Salford Stadium to face Sale Sharks on the 1st of the month (3pm), before a quick turnaround and a short jaunt up the M5 to near neighbours Bristol Bears on Friday, October 7 (7:45pm).
After successive away days, it’s back here to Sandy Park for the two other games in the month with Wasps visiting on Saturday, October 15 (3pm), before a titanic clash with Saracens a week later on October 22 (3pm), again in front of the BT Sport cameras.
Rounds 8 & 9 again see the Chiefs in action on Friday nights, the first of which is a trek to Kingsholm to face Gloucester on October 28 (7:45pm) followed a week later with a trip to Northampton Saints on November 4 (7:45pm).
In the last of the confirmed dates and kick-offs at this stage, the Chiefs will welcome London Irish to Sandy Park on Saturday. November 12. This match will start at 5pm, this is to avoid clashing with England’s Autumn international the same day.
Tickets for all of the above-mentioned home Premiership games – and those unconfirmed later in the season are now available to purchase.
Fixtures for both the Heineken Champions Cup and Premiership Rugby Cup are set to follow shortly.
