Harlequins vs. Bristol Bears Kickoff Time, Lineups

Harlequins and Bristol Bears meet again in Gallagher PREM Rugby with recent history heavily favoring the visitors. 

Bristol has won four of the last five meetings between the clubs, including a decisive 52–26 victory at Ashton Gate in May 2025 during Round 18 of the PREM season. In that match, the Bears struck immediately and led from the opening minute, setting the tone for a dominant performance.

Recent form further underscores Bristol’s momentum. The Bears have gone 4–1 over their last five matches, continuing to demonstrate attacking efficiency and physical control. 

Harlequins, meanwhile, arrive at 2–3 across their last five games, searching for consistency as they prepare to face one of the league’s most in-form sides.

Playing at Allianz Stadium provides Harlequins with an opportunity to challenge recent trends and harness home support. Bristol enters aiming to extend its dominance in the fixture and maintain pressure near the top of the PREM table. 

With contrasting trajectories and recent history, this matchup serves as a critical test for both clubs.
