Richie Murphy's side begin their campaign against the Warriors at the Kingspan Stadium on Saturday September 21st.

They then face a South African double-header away to Emirates Lions and Vodacom Bulls in Rounds 2 and 3.

The Ulster faithful will pencil in dates for Inteprovincial derbies, which are always a highlight of the campaign.

Connacht, will be first up in the Interpro derbies, with Ulster taking the Westerners at Kingspan Stadium in Round 4, on Saturday October 12th.
