The Toyota Cheetahs will kick off their EPCR Challenge Cup 2025/26 campaign against Exeter Chiefs on Sunday, 7 December at Sandy Park Stadium.

In line with the competition's requirements for the Toyota Cheetahs to be based in Europe as an invited team, the side will again call the NRCA Stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands, their home ground for Rounds 2 and 3 of the tournament.

On Saturday, 13 December, the Toyota Cheetahs will host French powerhouse Stade Français Paris at 14:00, followed by a clash against Ulster Rugby on Sunday, 11 January – both at the NRCA Stadium.

The team will then travel to Paris for Round 4, where they will face Racing 92 at the Paris La Défense Arena on Sunday, 18 January at 18:30 (local time).

The Toyota Cheetahs extend their sincere gratitude to Rugby Netherlands for their invaluable support in making Amsterdam a home away from home for the third consecutive year and for helping to provide a world-class venue for European competition.

Rory Duncan, CEO of Free State Cheetahs (Pty) Ltd, said:
"It is an honour for the Toyota Cheetahs as we take our brand of rugby into the heart of Europe. We are grateful to Rugby Netherlands and the EPCR for this opportunity. This will be the third consecutive year that Rugby Netherlands has assisted us with a home base, and we are deeply appreciative of their ongoing support. Amsterdam provides us with a fantastic platform to connect with new supporters and expats while proudly representing the Free State and South Africa on an international stage. Our team is determined to be competitive and to make our mark in this prestigious competition."

The Toyota Cheetahs are proud to participate in the EPCR Challenge Cup and are committed to delivering a memorable and successful campaign.
