Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 Ticketing Programme Confirmed

Rugby fans can start to plan the Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 after the ticketing programme was confirmed by World Rugby following an event organised in Sydney.

More than 2.5 million tickets will be available, which will make RWC 2027 the biggest and most accessible tournament in history, said the RWC organisers.

“Whether it’s a lifelong supporter, a family discovering the tournament together, or visitors experiencing rugby on Australian soil for the first time, everyone will have the opportunity to be part of this iconic moment and global celebration.”

World Rugby Chair Brett Robinson said: “This ticketing program has been designed with one simple principle: put the fans first. For the first time in over two decades, the Men’s Rugby World Cup returns to Australian shores, and we’re determined to make it bigger, bolder, and more accessible than ever before.

Rugby World Cup 2027 is more than a tournament; it’s a celebration of everything great about our game. It’s about reigniting the love for rugby, inspiring a new generation, and showcasing our values to the world. We want every ticket, every cheer, every moment to help grow the game worldwide.”

From Asia, Japan and Hong Kong China are both confirmed to be involved in the expanded 24-team Men’s tournament.

The RWC 2027 Draw will take place in December 2025, and all international fixtures played in 2025 count towards the World Rugby Men’s Rankings, which will determine the bands for the RWC 2027 Draw organised in December 2025.

The full RWC 2027 match schedule announcement will be confirmed in January 2026.

It’s going to be electric ⚡️
