Saracens: The Showdown 7

Saturday, 20 March 2027 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Saracens move one home match a year to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the seventh Showdown brings back their London rivals Harlequins.

Saracens, the north London club with three European titles, host Harlequins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 20 March 2027. The match is The Showdown 7, their annual home fixture at the stadium.

Founded in 1876, Saracens spent most of their history around Southgate and now play at StoneX Stadium in Hendon. They have won the English Premiership six times, most recently in 2023.

Before the Showdown, the club staged a Derby Day at Wembley. Its 2015 match against Harlequins set the attendance record for a Premiership game.

In 2019 Saracens agreed to play one showpiece home match a season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The pandemic moved the first Showdown, in 2020, to Barnet Copthall. The 2024 edition against Harlequins drew 61,214.

This is the fifth Showdown against Harlequins, after Northampton Saints took the 2026 date.

Harlequins, founded in 1866 and based at the Twickenham Stoop, were champions of England in 2012 and 2021.
