Where to watch Leinster v Cardiff in the UK and Ireland
In the UK, Leinster v Cardiff is live on Premier Sports, which holds the rights to every URC game this season. Kick off at the Laya Arena in Dublin is 19.45 BST on Saturday 10 October 2026, and viewers in Ireland can also watch it free on TG4.
This is not S4C’s free-to-air pick for the round, as the Welsh broadcaster went with Friday night’s Dragons v Ospreys, so Cardiff supporters in the UK will need Premier Sports, which also streams through the Premier Player app. In Ireland TG4 shows the game free alongside Premier Sports, viewers in the United States can watch on FloRugby, and URC.tv covers most other countries.
Cardiff are back on S4C for their next home game, against the Sharks on Friday 23 October, while Leinster turn to the first interprovincial derby of the season against Munster the following evening.
Two rounds in, Cardiff are second and the defending champions are 13th.
Leo Cullen’s Leinster lost both games of their South African trip by small margins, 27-26 to the Lions and 26-20 to the Sharks, and Saturday is their first competitive outing at the rebuilt ground.
Cardiff, who edged the last meeting 8-7 in Wales last season, have started this campaign with two wins, a derby victory away to the Scarlets and then a 40-27 win over Zebre at the Arms Park.
