Round 4 match of the BKT United Rugby Championship between Edinburgh Rugby and the 10bet Lions at Hive Stadium.
Edinburgh Rugby take on the 10bet Lions at Hive Stadium on Friday 23 October, with kick-off at 7.45pm. It's a Round 4 fixture in the 2026-27 BKT United Rugby Championship season, so it's still early days in the campaign. If you're planning to head in early, the general turnstiles, the fanzone, and the public bar all open at 6pm, giving you plenty of time to get settled before the action starts.
There's a bit of a spread to work through if you're arriving early. The Public Bar in the President's Suite is open to all supporters both before and after the match, with free entry and food available pre-match only. If you're a season ticket holder, you can take 10% off at The Grill, The Greek, and Costa Coffee in the first hour after the gates open.
The food line-up on the day has a few interesting names. Chulo's Stuffed Cookies started out in a Glasgow home kitchen back in 2021, and ClanCape is a street-food concept that fuses Scottish produce with South African seasoning traditions. There's also woodfired pizza from Wanderers Kneaded, so there's a decent mix of sweet, savoury, and proper matchday fare to choose from.
