Then, in week 6, the home fixture against London Wasps will still take place on Saturday October 24th but the kick off time has been put back to 5:35pm.
Announcing the fixtures, Martin Turner, executive producer for rugby union at Sky Sports, said:
"This is a fantastic line-up of domestic rugby on Sky Sports, and I'm delighted that we can offer viewers the first club rugby match from Wembley Stadium."
"The Guinness Premiership last year boasted more tries and points than ever before, so we should be in for another exciting season. The rugby will be closer, faster and better - and I'm sure the attendance record will be smashed as the teams travel to new stadia and improve their own facilities."
Premier Rugby's Commercial Director Jon Varney added:
"In just the first three Rounds Sky's coverage of the race to Twickenham will show European Challenge Cup Winners Northampton Saints open their Guinness Premiership campaign against Worcester Warriors and the South West derby between Gloucester and Bath, with their matches normally amongst the best of the past few seasons."
"They will then show Saracens' big match at Wembley Stadium, the first club match at the home of English football, followed by the opening of Leicester Tigers' new stand at Welford Road, which will take their capacity to 24,000.
"It's a great start to another season of award winning rugby coverage on Sky Sports."
