The Welsh rugby fixtures for 2019/20 season: How the new structure looks and who your team are now playing

The fixtures and new league structure for grassroots Welsh rugby next season have been announced.

The WRU National Leagues also have a new sponsor, with Specsavers coming on board after signing a three-year deal which sees them also become the title sponsor of the WRU National Cup competitions.

Several teams find themselves in different divisions of the same tiers they were in,  with the the streamlining of the Welsh Premiership, which saw four teams relegated to the Championship, also having a knock-on effect further down the leagues.

Division Three East D no longer exists after being amalgamated with Division Three East Central C into an 18-team division (East Central C) where teams play each other once.

The Premiership fixtures are due to be announced next week.

Pontypool kick off the defence of their Championship title with a tricky home clash with Beddau on September 7.

Bedwas and Cross Keys, who were relegated from the Premiership, also meet on the opening day of the season while Neath travel to Trebanos and Bargoed are on the road at Cardiff Met.

The final round of games on May 2 could have some potential title deciders as Pooler host Cross Keys and Bargoed travel to Bedwas.
