Oxford Health has been working closely with the Kassam Stadium management since early this year to run the successful mass vaccination centre.
And, to mark the start of the season at home, fans who have yet to have a first or second vaccination (Pfizer second jabs only after 8 weeks) will have the chance to get their jab before or after the game.
The vaccinations will be carried out between 1pm and 6pm. The pop-up vaccination centre will be situated near the stadium entrance and will be clearly signed.
The facility will be available only to people attending the game aged over 18.
