Which one of these fierce rivals will secure a place in the Gallagher PREM play-offs?
Watch Exeter Chiefs v Saracens as two sides with a long-standing rivalry face off for the final spot in the Gallagher PREM 2025-26 semi-finals. Best of all, this hotly anticipated match is available for free on ITVX in the UK.
The league organisers couldn’t really have planned this any better. Fourth playing fifth on the final day of the regular season, with a spot in the end-of-season play-offs the prize for the victor? It’s like the season has entered its knockout stages a week early.
Chiefs have the upper hand, being ahead in the table and having home advantage on Saturday. They also know that victory could catapult them into third place, depending on what happens between Bath and Leicester at the Rec.
Saracens won’t just be there to give Exeter a Sandy Park guard of honour, however. The 2023 champions are arguably the form team in the PREM, having won their last five fixtures, and the players will be keen to delay the end of Mark McCall’s trophy-laden 17-year stint as director of rugby.
Only one of these teams will prolong their season beyond today. With so much on the line, this is sure to end the regular Gallagher PREM season with a bang.
