Glasgow Warriors vs. Edinburgh Kickoff Time, Lineups

Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh renew one of rugby’s oldest rivalries when they meet for the 1872 Cup, the historic interdistrict clash that dates back to 1872. 

Played annually as part of the United Rugby Championship, the fixture remains one of the most anticipated dates on the Scottish rugby calendar. Recent meetings have been closely contested, with Glasgow winning three of the last five encounters and Edinburgh taking two.

The most recent matchup came on Dec. 28, 2024, during Round 9 of URC play, when Edinburgh earned a narrow 10–7 victory. That result followed a pattern of tightly fought contests, and both sides arrive with momentum that adds further intrigue. 

Glasgow has won four of its last five matches and comes in fresh off a 28–21 Champions Cup victory over Toulouse, reinforcing confidence and composure in high-pressure environments.

Edinburgh enters having won three of its last five games but is coming off a difficult 33–0 loss to Castres. That contrast in recent outcomes places added emphasis on response and discipline as the teams meet at Hampden Park. With rivalry stakes, form lines and the 1872 Cup all in play, this matchup carries significance beyond the league table.
