This Saturday, 23 May 2026, we will once again witness a European Champions Cup final. The defending champions, Bordeaux have reached the final again while Leinster, who have ended as runners-up in three of the last four seasons, are for once underdogs.
The game kicks off at 15:45 SAST on Saturday. Many of the odds markets have already become available on various sites - we are using Easybet for odds below.
The final will take place at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain. Bordeaux are favourites with an early price at 1.36 with Leinster paying 3.20 for an outright win. The handicap is set at 7.5 points for now and pays 1.90 both ways.
The halftime/full time market is always popular in big rugby games, so it is worth looking at the odds for it early in the week. Bordeaux are valued at 1.80 to be winning at HT & FT while Leinster pays a wopping 4.00 for the same result.
There are opportunities to back one team to lead at the break and the other to win at FT, but those are always far riskier and thus have much higher odds.
Given that Leinster are underdogs, often the "lesser" team makes a bright start to the game as they look to catch the favourites off guard. If you fancy that happening, Leinster are paying over evens (2.10) to score the first points with Bordeaux priced at 1.66 to score first.
All the above-mentioned odds and those that come live during the week are subject to change the closer we get to kick off. Be sure to check in with your bookmaker with the odds on offer at the time of betting.
