Watch Glasgow Warriors Vs. Saracens Rugby Live Stream: European Champions Cup
The Glasgow Warriors look to make Scotland rugby union history Sunday when they face defending European champions Saracens on Sunday, in a Champions Cup quarterfinal match that will live stream from Allianz Park in London. The Warriors will be appearing in the quarterfinal round of Europe’s top-flight club rugby competition for the first time — against a team that has won 12 straight home games in the tournament.
The Warriors, on the other hand, have played 18 road games against Aviva Premiership competition — and lost 16 of those. And while the Saracens sit in third place in the Premiership, six points off table-topping Wasps, the Glasgow Warriors are languishing in sixth place in the Pro12.
To find out how to watch a live stream of the Glasgow Warriors vs. Saracens rugby showdown, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. British Summer Time at Allianz Park in London, England. In the United States, that start time will be 8 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 5 a.m. Pacific.
Though the odds would seem to be stacked against them, the Warriors will not be lacking in motivation to overhaul the European Cup holders. Not only is Coach Gregor Townsend leaving the team after six years at the helm following this season, but a reported 5,000 Glasgow fans will be making the 350-mile trek south to be present at Allianz Park, hoping to cheer their team to a stunning upset victory.

The Warriors will also welcome no less than nine Scotland internationals, including co-captains Henry Pyrgos and Jonny Gray, back to the lineup after resting for the team’s victory over Connacht last week.
“It’s great to be able to bring back the guys who were not involved last week after the Six Nations, they will be fresh and ready for what promises to be a hugely physical fixture,” said Townsend on Saturday. “Saracens have an incredible record in this competition and are extremely hard to beat at home, but we have trained well and in front of over 5,000 traveling Warriors fans the players will give it everything.”
