Rugby sevens is back in Singapore! The HSBC SVNS Singapore returns to the National Stadium on 30 and 31 January 2027, bringing 16 international teams together for a weekend of fast-paced rugby, spectacular tries and fierce competition. And with defending champions Fiji and New Zealand both chasing a third consecutive Singapore title, there’s plenty at stake.

Singapore will once again host the only Southeast Asian stop on the HSBC SVNS Series, with eight men’s and eight women’s teams battling it out at The Kallang.

One welcome change for the 2027 edition is the introduction of single-day tickets, giving fans more flexibility to catch their favourite teams in action without committing to the entire weekend. Early-bird tickets start from S$79.90 for adults for a single day, while two-day passes are available from S$139.

Can Fiji and New Zealand complete a Singapore three-peat?

Two teams will arrive in Singapore with titles to defend and a chance to make history.

Fiji’s men produced one of the most memorable moments of the 2026 tournament, coming from 12 points behind to defeat France 21–12 in the final. The victory secured their second consecutive Singapore title, and they’ll be back looking to make it three in a row.

New Zealand’s women have an equally impressive record. Their commanding 36–7 win over Australia in last year’s final delivered their third successive Singapore crown.

Both sides will have their work cut out for them, though. Winning once is difficult enough; defending a title against the world’s best is another challenge altogether.

Fiji men’s captain Tira Wilagi is well aware that his team will have a target on their backs.

“Last year’s final was a tough one, demanding that we fight together to turn the game around,” he said. With the competition expected to be just as intense this time, Fiji will need to be at their best if they are to complete the three-peat.

New Zealand women’s captain Risi Pouri-Lane is also looking forward to returning to Singapore, highlighting the team’s experiences around the city and the electric atmosphere at the National Stadium.

With both defending champions back in action, the question is whether anyone can stop them.

16 teams battle for Series honours

The Singapore tournament is the third stop of the 2026/27 HSBC SVNS season, with the competition building towards the HSBC SVNS World Championship and the LA 2028 Olympic Games.

The men’s line-up features Argentina, Australia, Fiji, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain and the USA.

In the women’s competition, Australia, Canada, Fiji, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the USA will take to the field.

There are also two newly promoted teams to keep an eye on. The USA men’s team and Spain women’s team have earned their places in the HSBC SVNS Series for the 2026/27 season and will be looking to make an immediate impression against the established contenders.

With international rugby powerhouses, emerging challengers and defending champions all in the mix, the battle for Series points should make for an exciting weekend.

And if you’re new to rugby sevens, it’s one of the easiest formats of the sport to get into. Played with seven players per side, matches are short, the pace is relentless and the action can swing dramatically in just a few minutes. Expect explosive runs, crunching tackles and plenty of tries.

More than just rugby: The Family SVNS experience

You don’t have to be a die-hard rugby fan to enjoy HSBC SVNS Singapore.

The tournament has embraced its “Family SVNS” identity, bringing together sporting action, entertainment and activities for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re there to support a particular team or simply looking for something different to do over the weekend, there’s more to experience beyond the rugby pitch.

Families can also take advantage of special ticket bundles covering two adults and up to three youths aged 5 to 17. Children aged four and below enjoy free admission, subject to applicable admission conditions.

The introduction of single-day tickets is another welcome addition, particularly for those who want to experience the atmosphere without setting aside both days.
