World Rugby has confirmed the HSBC SVNS Series and World Championship schedule for 2027, with the Series visiting Dubai, Cape Town, Singapore, Perth, Vancouver, and New York before the World Championship takes place across Hong Kong, Valladolid, and Bordeaux. The announcement follows a successful 2026 season in which New Zealand's women and South Africa's men won the Series titles, while Australia's women and South Africa's men were crowned World Champions. The 2026 season drew over 530,000 fans — a 21% increase from 2025 — and surpassed one billion social media impressions for the second consecutive year, as the sport builds momentum toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
