Union Bordeaux-Bègles has never had a better chance to win the Investec Champions Cup than 2025. 

UBB Rugby went 4-0-0 in Pool 1 play, earned the top seed in the playoff field and saw its side of the playoff bracket weakened when Antoine Dupont suffered a season-ending injury in the 2025 Six Nations against Ireland. 

And now star Damian Penaud is hitting his stride after early season injuries. Everything is going right as they host the Round of 16 match at 7:30 a.m. at Stade Chaban-Delmas on April 6. 

What a perfect time for a team from Belfast to try and ruin everything. 

Ulster Rugby was the last team to make the Champions Cup Round of 16 field, finishing 1-0-3 in Pool 1 play, but using a 52-24 win over the Exeter Chiefs in Belfast to make the knockout stage.

Ulster hopes its match against UBB goes better than the one in December, when UBB beat Ulster 40-19 in Belfast during Round 2. 

And the rematch is streaming live. Here’s what to know about the UBB Rugby vs. Ulster Rugby match:
