The Sharks feature on the opening day of the 2025/26 United Rugby Championship with a game against Glasgow Warriors on Friday, 26 September 2025.
It will be a tough start for the Sharks who are without numerous international players, however, there is no side in South Africa at the very least who has remotely the amount of depth the Sharks have.
Starting with three successive away games in Europe is a tough ask but the Durban-based side will have confidence after making it to the playoffs last season. Glasgow, Dragons and Leinster will not be easy, but that middle game is certainly a target for the four points.
Two home games follow after that against Ulster and Scarlets. Those could prove crucial in the Sharks chances at the title this season.
