Contrary to recent tradition, the Challenge Cup final may take place in a different city if it makes sense. Tickets bought for this year's final in Marseille are still valid for next year's event, but EPCR will also offer refunds if fans want them. Meanwhile, it appears more and more likely that Ireland will complete their Six Nations campaign on the final two weekends in October. The elongated window won't satisfy clubs in France and England, however, and World Rugby have yet to get to a point where they can announce the fixtures. 2020 EPCR datesQuarter-finals: weekend of 18/19/20 SeptemberSemi-finals: weekend of 25/26/27 SeptemberHeineken Champions Cup final: weekend of 16/17/18 October (venue TBC)Challenge Cup final: weekend of 16/17/18 October (venue TBC)Start of 2020/21 season: weekend of 11/12/13 DecemberOnline Editors
