HSBC SVNS Rugby 2027 returns to Perth on 6–7 February, with early bird tickets now available and organisers expecting another tourism surge for Western Australia.
Summary: HSBC SVNS Rugby 2027 will take place in Perth on 6–7 February 2027. Early bird tickets are available now for the two-day festival at HBF Park, which blends fast-paced sevens rugby with live entertainment and is expected to boost Western Australia’s tourism sector.
Perth will host HSBC SVNS Rugby 2027 on 6–7 February, a two-day celebration of sevens rugby, music and family activities. Early bird tickets are on sale, giving supporters the chance to secure places at HBF Park for what organisers and local tourism bodies describe as a major drawcard for the city.
Event dates, format and atmosphere
The SVNS tournament is known for its condensed, high-energy format—seven players per side with seven-minute halves—which creates fast-turnaround matches and a festival-like environment. The Perth stop promises live music, family-friendly programming and food and beverage offerings alongside the on-field action.
Tickets and what to expect
- Dates: 6–7 February 2027
- Venue: HBF Park, Perth
- Offer: Early bird tickets available for a limited time
- Highlights: Live entertainment, family activities, top-tier sevens rugby
Organisers market SVNS as more than a sport; it’s a weekend festival that attracts both rugby fans and families seeking a lively cultural experience. Past line-ups have featured music acts that add to the carnival atmosphere around the matches.
Economic impact and 2026 success
The 2026 SVNS stop in Perth drew thousands to HBF Park and delivered millions of dollars in economic benefit across Western Australia. The weekend combined competitive rugby with entertainment—acts such as Sunshine and Disco Faith Choir and Furnace and the Fundamentals helped create a carnival feel that engaged tourists and locals alike.
Perth’s event strategy and long-term hosting
Hosting SVNS fits within Western Australia’s plan to lure international events to diversify the economy through tourism. A three-year partnership with SVNS organisers will keep the tournament in Perth through 2028, signalling a sustained commitment to sports-driven visitor growth and local business opportunity.
Leading into a big year for rugby in Australia
Perth’s SVNS hosting comes ahead of an even larger rugby calendar: the Golden Decade of Rugby in Australia culminates with the Men’s Rugby World Cup in 2027. Perth will stage seven World Cup matches, including the opening game between Australia and Hong Kong China, pool matches featuring teams such as South Africa and New Zealand, and two round-of-16 fixtures under World Rugby’s new 24-team format.
Major events such as the British and Irish Lions Tour (2025) and the Bledisloe Cup (2025) have already helped position Perth as a prime venue for international sport, and the SVNS stop reinforces that trajectory.
What this means for travellers and local businesses
Events like SVNS attract international and domestic visitors, lifting demand for hotels, restaurants and transport services. For travellers, the tournament offers a chance to combine world-class sevens rugby with Perth’s beaches, parks and cultural attractions; for local operators, it provides increased footfall and revenue opportunities during the event window.
So what? If you plan to attend, book early—early bird tickets are limited and demand is likely to rise as Perth’s wider 2027 rugby programme draws global attention. For industry stakeholders, SVNS presents a tested model for event-led tourism that supports jobs and business growth in Western Australia.
