European Champions Cup

Glasgow Warriors were drawn in the same pool (1) as South African Durban's Sharks, English sides the Sale Sharks, Saracens and French champions Toulouse and French side ASM Clermont Auvergne.[25] As the South African side are in the same domestic league as the Warriors, they do not play each other in the group stage.[26]

Head Coach Franco Smith said of the draw:[27]

To be drawn against heavyweights and previous champions provides our squad with a chance to test themselves against some of the best this competition has to offer. Toulouse and Saracens have won this competition nine times between them, with both outfits regularly featuring in the knockout stages and challenging for silverware. Add to that Clermont, who have been in European finals and lifted the Challenge Cup before, and Sale Sharks, who have been one of the top teams in England for the last few years, we know that we will be challenged by each of our opponents. It is a challenge we look forward to. To be challenged at that level is something that excites everyone at this club and we're excited to go head-to-head with the best in Europe.

Knockout matches

Glasgow qualified for a home tie in the round of 16 with their third victory from three in the pool stage. Their fourth victory, a bonus-point win against Saracens, guaranteed top spot in Pool 1, second seeding overall and both a home quarter-final and home nation semi-final should they progress that far.

Their round of sixteen match will be against fellow United Rugby Championship team, Bulls.
