Fans Can Buy Tickets for 50th Anniversary Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2026 From October

Hong Kong China Rugby confirmed that the ticket sale details for the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2026, which is the 50th anniversary of the tournament and will be held at the Kai Tak Stadium from 17-19 April 2026, will be on sale from October 2025.

The iconic Sevens Rugby tournament was the first international tournament held at Kai Tak Stadium in March 2025 in front of 110,907 fans over three days. The venue will be used to celebrate the 50th anniversary in 2026, as the iconic tournament is one of three World Championship legs on the World Rugby HSBC SVNS Series.

Having first been played in 1976 in front of 3,000 fans at the Hong Kong Football Club, HKCR says “the Sevens has grown into a three-day extravaganza of sport, fancy dress and music, widely regarded as Asia’s top sporting weekend and one of world sport’s true bucket-list events.”

Chris Brooke, Chairman of Hong Kong China Rugby, said: “Having successfully moved into our new home at Kai Tak, Hong Kong China Rugby is very pleased to be launching public ticket sales for the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens 2026, which will mark the tournament’s 50th anniversary. We once again look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to our amazing city and to hosting a suitably impressive celebration.”
