The 2022-23 Champions Cup will be contested by 24 clubs with eight representatives from the United Rugby Championship including the Stormers, Bulls and Sharks, plus eight representatives from the English Premiership and eight from the French Top 14. The clubs will be divided into two pools of 12 and the tournament will be played over eight weekends with four rounds of matches in the pool stage starting next December when Stade Rochelais begin the defence of their title.
The draw for the Champions Cup pools will be carried out on the same lines as last season with the clubs separated into four tiers based on their rankings, and clubs from the same league in the same tier will not be drawn into the same pool.
