How to watch Bristol Bears v Harlequins live on TV, team news and odds

Bristol Bears are one game away from Twickenham.

Standing in their way are Harlequins who come to Ashton Gate on Saturday in the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership play-off semi-finals.

The fantastic news is fans are now back in stadiums in limited numbers but the equally good news is games are also being shown live on TV still meaning if you are not one of the 6,000 at Ashton Gate you can still watch the game.

Here are all the ways you can follow the action...

What time is kick-off?

Bristol Bears v London Irish kicks-off at 1.30pm on Saturday, June 19

Is the game on TV?

Yes. The great news is BT Sport have confirmed they will show every game during the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership season, even with fans back in stadiums now.

The match is being shown live on BT Sport 1HD which is not one of the broadcaster's man channels meaning you will need the red button to find the game. It can also be watched on the BT Sport App.

The coverage on BT will start just before 1pm.

How else can I follow the game?

If you can’t watch the game live on TV you can follow live play-by-play updates, reaction, analysis and interviews on our live blog on Bristol Live.
