A new name is set to be etched on the Rugby European Challenge Cup trophy this evening - read on as we explain how to watch a Bristol vs Toulon live stream today and catch all the rugby action online from wherever you are.
Pat Lam's side will be battling in Aix-en-Provence for their first pace of serious silverware for 37 years, with the match marking the club's first ever European final. Bristol booked their place in the final with a 37-20 victory over Bordeaux-Begles in the semis.
This European Challenge Cup final begins at 9pm CET local time on Friday evening at the Stade Maurice David, in Aix-en-Provence. That makes it an 8pm BST start for rugby fans in the UK.

Toulon, meanwhile, eased their way past Leicester Tigers 34-19 in the other half of the draw. While Toulon have a storied history in European competition, having won the Champions Cup three times on the spin between 2013 and 2015, the French side have never won the second tier Challenge Cup.
The Bears have been forced into making late change ahead of Friday's showdown with skipper Steven Luatua set to miss out as his partner is due to give birth. His absence comes on top of injured duo Charles Piutau and Nathan Hughes being ruled out.
Jean-Baptiste Gros and Beka Gigashvili are set return at prop for Toulon, while Romain Taofifenua will once again look to form a potent lock pairing with South African star Eben Etzebeth.
