'One of the most exciting venues in the world': EPCR name '24 Euro finals venue
By PA
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host next season’s finals of the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup.
The 62,850-capacity ground will stage the climax to 2023-24 European campaign on May 24 and May 25.
While the north London venue has previously held rugby games, such as Saracens’ recent win over Harlequins, it is the first time it has been used for continental action.
“It is quite simply one of the most exciting venues in the world and an incredibly appropriate stage for next year’s showpiece finals weekend,” said Dominic McKay, chairman of tournament organisers EPCR.
“EPCR has a proud history of taking its finals weekend to new cities and arenas with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the latest in a list of cutting-edge venues.
“It is a sensational stadium with a burgeoning history of hosting rugby matches.”

I thought you meant in europe. Because all of the reasons theyre different I wouldn't correlate that to mean for europe, as in french broadcasters pay two or three times as much as the UK or SA broadcasters do, like they do for their league.
With France, it's not just about viewers, they are also paying much more. So no doubt there will be a hit (to the amount the French teams receive for only playing a fraction of it) but they may not care too much as long as the big clubs, the top 8 for example, enter the meaty end, and it wouldn't have the same value to them as the top14 contract/compensation does. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 separate networks broadcast deals only went to the clubs in their regions as well (that's how SR ended up (unbalanced) I believe).
