Saracens have confirmed they will play Harlequins at Wembley Stadium on Saturday April 8, 2017, as 'Derby Day' returns.

The Aviva Premiership champions will once again face their local rivals in the north London v south London clash which has become one of the showpiece events of the league season.

The 'Derby Day' games have seen record-breaking crowds, attracting well over 80,000 spectators in recent years, and Sarries are expecting another big day at the stadium which has become a home from home.

"Derby Day is always a fantastic experience for the whole Saracens family" said chief executive Heath Harvey.

"Derby Day is not simply a rugby game - the day is packed with top quality entertainment. Previous years have seen stars like Foxes, Pixie Lott and McFly take to the stage to perform alongside Saracens dancers and cheerleaders."
