Premiership Rugby have confirmed that next season's London Double Header will take place on Saturday November 28, with tickets now on sale.

The home teams in the annual clash will be Premiership champions Saracens and London Irish, with the away sides confirmed at the Fixtures Launch on July 3, at the top of the BT Tower in central London.

"The London Double Header has become one of the highlights of the Aviva Premiership Rugby calendar,” said Premiership Rugby's Commercial Director, Dominic Hayes.

"With Twickenham not available until after the Rugby World Cup this is the earliest we are able to schedule this year's London Double Header but we are pleased that we will we once again deliver a day that club rugby fans really look forward to.”

The Premiership season will kick off on the weekend of October 16-18.
