Edinburgh will welcome the Premiership leaders on Saturday May 3, with the match set for a 3pm kick-off. 

It will also be shown live on Premier Sports for UK audiences, with the match also available on beIN SPORTS, SuperSport and FloRugby elsewhere. 

The last-four clash will be the second time Edinburgh have faced Bath at Hive Stadium. 

In April 2022, the capital club ran out 41-19 victors to book a Challenge Cup quarter-final place when Emiliano Boffelli starred, scoring 21 points.

And if Edinburgh are victorious again this time, they will need to wait 24 hours to discover their final opponents, with Lyon and Racing 92 set to clash on Sunday, May 4 in the other semi-final. 

They will meet at Matmut Stadium de Gerland at 12.30pm (UK time), and that match will also be shown on Premier Sports for UK viewers. 

The final will be played at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, May 23 at 8pm.
