Hong Kong Sevens
Hong Kong Sevens takes place Apr 9 - 11, 2027 in Hong Kong, China. The dress code is Casual and playful - full fancy dress is the norm in the South Stand, smart-casual in hospitality suites and boxes. Typical cost ranges from 500 to 1800 EUR per person.
The most celebrated tournament in rugby sevens, now staged at the 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium after five decades at Hong Kong Stadium. It functions as much as a costumed carnival as a sporting event, with the South Stand's fancy dress and the corporate boxes both fixtures of Asia's spring social calendar. Three days, dozens of matches, and a city that visibly reorganises itself around it.

How to attend
Register through hksevens.com for the 2027 ticket process, which opens months ahead and allocates three-day passes as the standard unit; general sale follows if capacity remains. Expect roughly EUR 200 - 350 for a three-day public pass, with official hospitality and suite packages considerably higher. It is open to the public via the ballot, with no membership required. Take the Tuen Ma Line to Kai Tak or Sung Wong Toi and walk five to ten minutes.
The official site says ticketing details for the April 2027 tournament are still to follow, so there is nothing yet to buy or register for.
Insider tip
South Stand entry is capped and re-entry is restricted once it fills, so get in before mid-morning on Saturday - people who leave for lunch on day two frequently do not get back in.
