The Vancouver Sevens (Canada Sevens) is one of the liveliest stops on the World Rugby Sevens Series. It mixes fast rugby, loud crowds, and a festival vibe that keeps fans coming back. If you want clear info—schedule, teams, tickets, and how to watch—this page gets you ready for match day.
The tournament runs across two days: pool play on day one and knockout rounds on day two. Core teams you’ll see most years include Fiji, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, England, USA, Canada and Argentina. Pools decide quarter-final spots, then it’s straight knockout for Cup, Plate and Challenge Trophy places. Match times vary, so check the official World Rugby schedule for exact kick-offs the weekend you attend.
Short matches mean lots of action: two seven-minute halves (sometimes 10 minutes in finals). Games move quickly, so arrive early to catch warm-ups and support acts. Expect around six or more matches per session, so your ticket gives real value.
Broadcast rights change by country. World Rugby and official series broadcasters stream most matches, and rights partners often include national sports channels. If you’re local, tickets to BC Place give close views—lower bowl seats put you near the pitch while upper bowl seats offer a full view of multiple plays. If you want noise and chants, sit near the end zones where fan groups gather.
Planning to watch at home? Look for the World Rugby Sevens feed or check your country’s sports network and streaming apps. For quick updates, follow official social channels for highlights, live scores and key moments.
Thinking of going in person? Buy tickets in advance—weekend passes sell fast. BC Place has good public transit links: the Stadium–Chinatown SkyTrain station is a short walk away. Bag rules and entry checks are standard, so carry minimal gear and arrive early to avoid lines.
Food and atmosphere matter. Expect food trucks, sponsor activations, live DJs and fan zones outside the stadium. Wear layers—Vancouver weather can change fast. If you want photos, charge your phone and bring a small power bank.
Players to watch are usually the sevens specialists: look for explosive wingers, quick playmakers and teams known for clean ruck speed. Canada often lifts the roof with home support, while Fiji and New Zealand bring flair and offload magic.
