World Rugby announced the exciting news of its revamped Sevens Series format that includes Cape Town. The 2023 edition marks the seventh time that the Mother City will proudly host the prestigious HSBC Sevens Series.
Set to kick off in December, Cape Town will be one of eight host cities to welcome the eagerly awaited HSBC SVNS festivals. The revamped tournaments will showcase 12 men’s and women’s teams competing for the ultimate prize, while simultaneously treating fans to an extraordinary blend of sport, music, food, and immersive experiences.
With a date set for 9 and 10 December 2023, Cape Town Sevens is all geared up, this time taking centre stage at the renowned DHL Stadium.

The Cape Town Sevens has earned praise for its unparalleled live experience in South Africa, having been honoured with the Best Live Experience award at the Sports Industry Awards on two separate occasions.
Over the eight years of its tenure in the Mother City, the tournament has drawn a staggering 650 000 spectators, contributing over R3 billion in economic activity to Cape Town. The event has also played a significant role in creating over 2 000 jobs during its previous edition held in December 2022.
‘Cape Town’s inclusion in the remodelled Sevens Series is a massive feather in our cap. Cape Town Sevens has been one of the flagship events hosted in our city for nearly a decade, has proven a popular event with record attendance every single year and provides the best live experience for spectators.’
‘The City of Cape Town has been supporting the event since it moved from Gqeberha to Cape Town and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership with the organisers to ensure an exciting experience for spectators,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith.
