World Rugby has today announced an updated schedule for the highly anticipated return of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2021. The updated Series, which builds on the initially announced schedule in March, sees six men’s and four women’s rounds planned to take place in the final four months of the year.
The 2021 Series is now scheduled to kick off with a pair of men’s events in Canada, with the traditional HSBC Canada Sevens venue of BC Place in Vancouver hosting teams on 18-19 September, followed by Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on 25-26 September.

Following detailed discussions between the RFU and World Rugby, the HSBC London Sevens tournament will not take place in 2021. Planning is already underway for the 2022 HSBC London Sevens, which will be the 20th edition of the tournament.
The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2022 schedule will be announced in due course following the Olympic Games in what is set to be a very busy and exciting year for rugby sevens with the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England on 29-31 July, and Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 in Cape Town, South Africa on 9-11 September.
