Tigers are the defending champions in the EDF Energy Cup competition after beating The Ospreys in last season's final at Twickenham and they begin the defence of the trophy away to Bath Rugby this Saturday before hosting Cardiff Blues.
Leicester had 11 players involved in the Rugby World Cup in France, including Martin Corry, Ben Kay, Lewis Moody, George Chuter and Dan Hipkiss who all played for England in the final in Paris on Saturday evening.
They can expect a warm welcome on their return to the club as they compete for places with the players who have recorded four wins in the opening six games of the season. Acting head coach Richards Cockerill has already welcomed back Geordan Murphy, Seru Rabeni, James Hamilton, Martin Castrogiovanni and Alesana Tuilagi from their World Cup labours, with Marcos Ayerza now due to return as a bronze medallist following Argentina's succcessful tournament.
The England contingent return as World Cup runners-up four years after Leicester legend Martin Johnson lifted the trophy in Australia.
Tickets are on sale now for all of the Tigers' Guinness Premiership, EDF Energy Cup and Heineken Cup matches. See all of Tigers' World Cup players, together with their international colleagues and rivals, in club colours.
You can also buy tickets to see the next generation of England internationals as Welford Road hosts an international between England Saxons and Ireland A on Friday, February 1 (7.45pm).
The Red Rose squad will be hoping to use the Saxons as their final stepping stone before pushing for a place in the senior squad when England go to the next Rugby World Cup in 2011.
Tickets for the Saxons international are on sale, with special discount rates available for season ticket holders and members until December 10. All season ticket holders and members can also book additional tickets at the members' rates to make it a major occasion for friends and family. But don't forget the December 10 deadline.
