Leicester Tigers will open their 2015/16 European campaign at home to Stade Francais in November and face back-to-back fixtures with Munster before Christmas.Tournament organisers EPCR have confirmed the dates and times for fixtures in the opening four rounds of the new season’s European tournaments following discussions with their broadcast partners across Europe.
Tigers will host Stade Francais on Friday, November 13 in what promises to be another memorable evening at Welford Road in the opening fixture of the new season’s European Rugby Champions Cup.
After a trip to Benetton Treviso in Round 2 on November 21, Tigers go to Thomond Park in Limerick and welcome Munster in the return fixture at Welford Road on Sunday, December 20 (5.15pm).

Dates and times for the home game against Benetton Treviso and the trip to Paris to face Stade Francais in Round 6 will be confirmed after Round 4 has been completed at Christmas.
