The final was due to take place at Scotstoun Stadium, the home of Glasgow Warriors.[4]

Coronavirus pandemic[edit]

Due to the coronavirus pandemic the Scottish Rugby Union made season 2019-20 null and void. This meant that the Super 6 fixtures ended after the 10 rounds of the League Stage and did not continue into the Super 6 play-offs.[5][6]

The cross-border competition that was scheduled between Super 6 clubs and Welsh clubs was also cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[7]
