GLASGOW WARRIORS' first game of the new Guinness Pro12 season against defending champions Leinster at Scotstoun Stadium will be played on Saturday, September 6 at 5.15pm.

The repeat of last season's final will be shown live on Sky Sports as part of a double header of Guinness Pro12 action on the opening weekend, with Ulster's trip to face the Scarlets being televised live earlier in the day.

Sky Sports will be showing 33 live matches from the Guinness Pro12 next season on Saturdays as part of a new four-year deal, meaning games will be shown live nationally for the first time.

The Warriors will be on Sky Sports five times in the Guinness Pro12 before Christmas, including their trips to face the Dragons on Saturday, September 20 (kick-off 2.40pm) and Ulster on Saturday, October 11 (kick-off 5.05pm).
