Loughborough Lightning’s home league fixtures for the 2023/24 Premiership Women’s Rugby campaign will all kick-off at 2pm*, the Club today confirmed.
For the first time this term, Lightning will play all eight of their home matches in the league at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens – with a Loughborough Season Ticket still available to purchase now from just £45 adult / £25 child**.
Supporters can now stick dates and kick-off times in their diaries for all matches in Northampton, up to the start of the league’s hiatus in mid-March for the Women’s Six Nations.
The final four rounds of the Premiership Women’s Rugby season are yet to be confirmed, but with Lightning playing three of those matches on home soil, the Club’s intention is to stick to a 2pm kick-off time on Saturdays for these games.
Fixture times are still subject to any changes made by broadcaster TNT Sports / discovery+, with more than 20 matches set to be shown live on linear and digital platforms this season.
