Ulster will host Connacht at Kingspan Stadium in an inter-provincial Pro 14 clash on Friday evening - if you're not heading along to the game, read on to find out the tv details on where to watch Ulster vs Connacht.

Where to watch Ulster vs Connacht?

The game is live on eir Sport 1 from 7pm on Friday night. Kick-off is at 7.35pm.

There is full deferred coverage of the fixture on TG4 starting at 9.35pm.

Are both sides in good form?

Not really. Ulster were doing ok before being on the end of a 64-7 hammering from Munster last weekend, while Connacht have won only two of their opening five Pro 14 fixtures, including a 20-3 loss to Leinster in their last game.

What are the teams?

Both teams have made changes ahead of the fixture, as they attempt to bounce back after disappointing defeats last weekend.

Ireland internationals Rory Best and Jacob Stockdale are set to make their first appearances of the season for Ulster, with both named in the starting XV. Marcell Coetzee has also returned to the team after a shoulder injury.
