on the 27th Jul EPC Rugby said they expected to announce the
fixtures in around 2 weeks time. So hopefully this week, but
could be next week I guess.

Aren't we all! I'd hope they'll announce them this Friday. It's
down to the bartering between the broadcast partners in each
country as to which games are going to be on TV. At least this
year there's one less TV company involved with Sky not having
the rights anymore (and even less Stuart Barnes to have to
listen to!).

If it is to be today, as 12 noon has passed and there's nothing
on the EPCR site, then is 2pm to be the witching hour?

EPCR Q&A:
FIXTURES: CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THE FIXTURES ARE SCHEDULED?
The process of confirming the fixtures for the Heineken
Champions Cup and Challenge Cup begins after the pool draws
which take place in June each season.
The pool fixtures are confirmed during the summer, following a
scheduling process which includes consultation with the 40
competing clubs, league bodies and broadcast partners across
each territory.
EPCR is challenged with producing a balanced and fair schedule
which takes into account club preferences, restrictions at many
shared stadia, date requests associated with moves to larger
venues as well as ensuring our broadcasters across Europe can
carry as many compelling matches as possible from Friday evening
through to Sunday.
This means that on certain occasions some clubs will have a
slightly longer turnaround than others, but this will usually
balance out across a campaign.

Nope, 2pm and nothing. Into a 3rd week then.
