Rugby, music, food and a lot of fun. The Emirates Dubai 7s is back at The Sevens Stadium from 27 to 29 November, and as always is set to be bigger than before. Not a huge rugby fan? Not a problem. The Emirates Dubai 7s has always been about more than what happens on the pitch. I have all the incredible details you need to know, so keep reading to find out more.
Fast, Fun Rugby On The Pitch
The main event is the HSBC SVNS, which takes place on 28 and 29 November. Over two days, leading men’s and women’s teams go head to head in quick, fast-paced international rugby. It’s easy to follow and full of action, so even first-timers can get into it.
Meet The Teams
Eight teams will compete in each tournament.
- Women’s tournament: Australia, Canada, Fiji, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the USA.
- Men’s tournament: Argentina, Australia, Fiji, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain and the USA.
New Zealand are returning to Dubai after winning both the men’s and women’s titles in 2025. Will they do it again? We’ll have to wait and see…
Music & Entertainment Off The Pitch
The fun doesn’t stop when the match ends. Last year’s lineup featured Tinie Tempah, Sean Paul, Shaggy, DJ EZ and FISHER, which gives you an idea of the kind of party to expect. This year’s lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, but new artist announcements are on the way, so keep an eye out.
Three days of rugby, music, food and good company are on the way. Come for the matches, stay for the music, and enjoy the atmosphere at Emirates Dubai 7s 2026. Get your tickets here.
