Harlequins enter Round 1 of the 2025-26 Gallagher Premiership searching for form after finishing last season middle of the table, while Bath Rugby launch their title defense with an away trip to Twickenham Stoop.
Fly-half Marcus Smith, who topped the Quins scoring charts with 114 points at a 91.5% kicking success rate, and powerhouse No. 8 Alex Dombrandt headline Harlequins’ list of players to watch as they hunt for an opening win. Cadan Murley, last season’s top try-scorer for Quins with 11 in just 12 appearances, also returns as a major attacking threat.
Bath, meanwhile, arrive as reigning champions looking for a repeat. Scotland international playmaker Finn Russell and England international Sam Underhill will be central to Bath’s hopes of starting their title defense on the front foot.
The two sides split their meetings last season, with home advantage proving decisive each time.
They’ll face off on Friday, Sept. 26 at The Stoop, kicking off at 2:45 p.m. ET (7:45 p.m. UK time).
