Dubai's biggest weekend of sport returns to The Sevens Stadium on the Al Ain Road from Friday, November 27, to Sunday, November 29, 2026. Rugby is the centre of it, with six other competitions, three music stages and a kids' zone around it.
The rugby
Saturday and Sunday are the opening round of the HSBC SVNS, the world sevens series, on Pitch 1: day one of the tournament on Saturday, the finals and the trophy presentation on Sunday evening. Around it the festival site runs Invitational Rugby, the WODON3 fitness competition, Rebound Padel, cricket, netball and, for the first time at the 7s, Gaelic football.
Family Friday
Friday's ticket is AED 75, and under-15s go free that day. It covers the local and invitational sports, the youth tournament finals, the WODON3 elite competition and an extended kids' zone, with local artists and DJs on every stage.
Saturday, Sunday and the 3-day pass
A single day on Saturday or Sunday is AED 455, with children aged 10 to 14 at AED 115, 4 to 9 at AED 40 and under-4s free with registration. The 3-day general admission pass is AED 595. A family ticket for two adults and two children is AED 1,136, and groups of six or more adults pay AED 446 each. Reserved grandstand seats for the weekend are AED 695 or AED 825.
The music
Jax Jones and Melanie C headline Beats on 2, the party stage by the second pitch, with headline DJ sets on Saturday and Sunday and local artists on all three stages across the three days.
Getting in
Tickets are not printed. They arrive in the wallet section of the official Emirates Dubai 7s app, on the App Store and Google Play, and the same wallet pays for food and drink inside.
The same month in Dubai
The Dubai Fitness Challenge ends on the Sunday of the 7s, and Trevor Noah plays Dubai Opera from November 25.
For anyone weighing a move, the 7s is the one weekend when expat Dubai turns up in one place: schools, clubs and companies field teams, and the stands are a fair cross-section of who lives here. Buy the 3-day pass rather than a single day: it costs AED 140 more than Saturday alone and adds Sunday's finals and the quieter Friday. The stadium is well outside the centre on the Al Ain Road, so settle the journey home before the day.
