Bath's last two home games of the season will be played away from The Rec due to an accelerated construction plan for a new stadium. The games against Harlequins and Saracens, scheduled for May 15 and June 5, will have to be relocated as part of the project's new timeline. Bath's chief executive, Tarquin McDonald, stated they are working on confirming alternative host venues. The club plans to minimize disruption during this transition as they aim for the new stadium to be ready for the 2028/9 season. The final home game against Newcastle Red Bulls on April 17 will still be played at The Rec.
