Investec Champions Cup final 2025/26: Sat, May 23, 9.45am ET / 2.45pm BST
Watch Leinster vs Bordeaux live streams in the 2025/26 Investec Champions Cup final as the two unbeaten sides clash in what should be a highly competitive game at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao.
Eight years after their last title and four final defeats, Leinster have another opportunity to secure a fifth European crown. Unbeaten in this year’s competition, the Blues held off a late fightback from Toulon in the semi-finals to reach their fourth Champions Cup final in five seasons. Leo Cullen's side must now overcome their previous heartache and dethrone the defending champions. It’s a tough ask, but there is plenty of belief in the camp and a determination to add a fifth star to the shirt.
Like their final opponents, Bordeaux have won every game of this year’s competition, including a convincing victory over Bath to reach the final for the second straight year. Yannick Bru’s side have looked unstoppable, conquering all before them thanks in large part to the brilliant trio of star winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey and half-backs Maxime Lucu and Matthieu Jalibert. Full of confidence, they’ll have full belief that they can become just the sixth side to successfully retain the Champions Cup.
