The Big Game is an annual rugby union match hosted by Harlequins during the Christmas holiday season each year. As of 2011 for sponsorship purposes it is known as the LV= Big Game. It is one of Harlequins' regular home matches in the Premiership Rugby but it is moved from their usual home ground at the Twickenham Stoop (14,816 capacity) to the much larger Twickenham Stadium (82,000 seats).

There are other high-profile matches in London between Premiership Rugby clubs at other times, in particular the London Double Header and The Clash at Twickenham and Saracens' European or Premiership games at Wembley Stadium and London Stadium.
