Clermont will take on Toulouse in the stand-out match of the first weekend of the 2020-21 Top 14 season, according to the calendar released Thursday. The 2019/20 season was declared null and void due to the coronavirus pandemic, with no champion and no relegation. Next season is now slated to start on Friday, September 4, when Stade Francais host Bordeaux-Begles at their Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris. The opening weekend wraps up with Toulouse, the Top 14 champions in 2019, away at fellow big spenders Clermont. The format for the weekly rounds will be one match on Friday with a 8.45pm (local time) kick-off, followed by a 3.15pm fixture and four games at 6.15pm on Saturday, rounded off with one match on Sunday at 9.00pm. The Top 14 final will take place on June 26 at the Stade de France. mca/lp/gj
