Glasgow Warriors will kick off their PRO12 campaign away to champions Connacht with next season's 1872 Cup matches against Edinburgh to be split over the season.

The games between the two Scottish rivals are traditionally played back-to-back over the festive period. However, in 2016-17 the pair will face off at Murrayfield on Boxing Day before the return fixture on May 6 which will be the last game before the semi-finals.

Gregor Townsend's men will kick off their PRO12 campaign against champions Connacht, who edged out the Warriors at the semi-final stage en route to securing their first ever title in the competition.

Glasgow's first home game of the season will be on September 10 against runners-up Leinster, who topped the PRO12 table heading into the play-off ties.
