Ulster face off against Exeter Chiefs in Challenge Cup Round 7 on Sat 2nd May 2026 at Affidea Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 17:30. In South Africa it’s at 18:30 SAST, 04:30 NZST in New Zealand, 02:30 AEST in Australia and 09:30 EST in the US.
Ulster won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the league table with Exeter Chiefs in 1st and Ulster in 3rd underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Ulster vs Exeter Chiefs will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
