Wembley Stadium in all its glory
Saracens will play their opening European Cup tie of the season, against English rivals Leicester, at Wembley Stadium - the Premiership club announced on Tuesday.
Saracens, whose north London base is close to England's national football stadium, enjoyed excellent crowds all in excess of 40,000 when they played four matches at Wembley - including a victory over South Africa - last season.
They also beat London rivals Harlequins, in front of 47,106 spectators at Wembley to effectively book a place in the Premiership semifinals.
Saracens also announced on Tuesday that they would play their Boxing Day league fixture against Wasps, another London club, at Wembley on December 26.
Nigel Wray, the Saracens Chairman, said: "Saracens at Wembley has quickly become synonymous with a great family day out including great rugby and great entertainment for a great price at a great venue.
"We are delighted to take these two outstanding
matches to Wembley, and we look forward to two more fantastic occasions."
