Connacht Rugby's opponents in the EPCR Challenge Cup, as well as dates, venues and kick-off times, have been confirmed.

Stuart Lancaster's side start with a trip to Wales to face the Ospreys on Sunday 7th December with a 15:15 kick-off time.

Six days later, Georgian side Black Lion travel to Dexcom Stadium for what will be a first ever meeting between the sides. That game will kick-off at 20:00 on Saturday 13th December.

In January, a trip to the south of France awaits when we take on Montpellier at the GGL Stadium. Kick-off is at 13:00 Irish / 14:00 local on Sunday 11th January.

Then in Galway at 8pm on Saturday 17th January, it'll be another unique affair when recently promoted Top 14 side Montauban take on Connacht for the first time.
