Dates and tickets
The 2026 festival runs over three days, 27–29 November, with the world series men's and women's matches on Saturday and Sunday. Ticket prices are unchanged for a third year: Friday entry from AED 75, Saturday or Sunday from AED 455 and a three-day pass from AED 595. Tickets are digital, through the official website and app.
There's more than rugby. Netball, padel, cricket and Gaelic football are on the programme, along with music stages and the biggest kids' zone the event has had.
Where to stay
The Sevens Stadium is out on the Al Ain road, so there is nowhere to stay next to it. Most visitors base themselves where the after-parties are:
- Dubai Marina and JBR: the beach, bars and big apartments for groups. Allow 35–45 minutes to the stadium.
- Downtown and Business Bay: closer to the stadium (about 25–35 minutes), with good nightlife and rooftop bars.
Getting to the stadium
Organisers usually run shuttle buses from points around the city, and taxis queue at the gates. For a group of six or more, pre-booking a minivan both ways is often the easiest option.
