Top-tier rugby sevens action will return to Singapore as HSBC SVNS Singapore takes over the National Stadium on 31 January and 1 February 2026. The event is the only Southeast Asian stop on the global HSBC SVNS circuit and will once again bring the world’s elite men’s and women’s teams to Singapore for a weekend of fast-paced, high-intensity competition.
Fans can expect blockbuster clashes featuring some of the world’s top teams, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Fiji, France, Great Britain, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, and the USA. With each match pitting two of the best teams against each other, the stage is set for an intense and highly competitive weekend as New Zealand’s women’s team and South Africa’s men’s team aim to defend their HSBC SVNS 2025 titles.
New Competition Model Raises the Stakes
The 2026 season ushers in a new era for rugby sevens. A revitalised three-division structure expands the sport worldwide with a 13-stop global calendar, while ensuring only the top eight men’s and women’s teams compete in the premier SVNS circuit. As part of Division 1, Singapore hosts the third stop of the season, guaranteeing the world’s best sides in every match and delivering rugby of the highest quality to fans.
“Singapore Rugby Union is proud to once again partner with Kallang Alive Sport Management and World Rugby in bringing the HSBC SVNS to Singapore — a cornerstone event that showcases the very best of international rugby and the vibrancy of our local sporting community,” said Sidney Kumar, General Manager of Singapore Rugby Union. “As the only Southeast Asian stop on the global series, the Singapore edition continues to inspire our young players, coaches and fans, while uniting families and communities through the spirit of the game. The 2026 edition will not only celebrate world-class rugby but also strengthen Singapore’s position as a hub for regional rugby development, participation and inclusivity. We look forward to welcoming teams, supporters and families to an unforgettable weekend of sport, fun and friendship.”
The Family SVNS experience
Alongside the thrilling on-field action, fans can enjoy a lively festival experience throughout the Singapore Sports Hub with live entertainment, interactive fan zones, rugby-themed games, and activities tailored for young supporters.
“We’re thrilled to bring back the HSBC SVNS to Singapore in 2026! This event celebrates not only the spirit of rugby but also the joy of shared experiences. Seeing families and friends come together to cheer as one and take in the action, entertainment and activities across the Singapore Sports Hub is what makes the event so special,” said Yazed Osman, Group Head, Events & Placemaking and Place Management, KASM.
“Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering rugby for the first time, HSBC SVNS Singapore is all about connection, excitement and creating memories that last.”
Young players will have the opportunity to participate in rugby clinics with experienced coaches and take part in fringe competitions that bring the sport to life.
