Newcastle Red Bulls are delighted to annouce that Kingston Park Stadium will host the 2026 England Students Men’s international fixture against France Universities on Saturday May 2, with kick-off set for 2.30pm.
The prestigious end-of-season encounter brings top-level student rugby to the North East, with two highly competitive sides facing off in what promises to be an outstanding contest.
England Students arrive looking to respond after last year’s 42–31 defeat in France, adding further intensity to a fixture that consistently delivers high-quality rugby and fierce rivalry.
Kingston Park has already seen a memorable chapter in this series, with England securing a dramatic 16–15 victory the last time the match was played at the venue in 2022.
Supporters can expect another closely fought encounter as both teams look to finish their campaigns on a high.
Tickets are available now, priced at £10 for adults and £5 for students and under-18s.
