Rugby fans in Australia and across the globe can now start to plan their Rugby World Cup experience, as the ticketing programme for Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 was unveiled at an event organised in Sydney. With fans placed firmly at the heart of the process, the ticketing programme embodies a new era of openness and inclusivity, ensuring the game’s biggest stage is open to all.

In total, over 2.5 million tickets will be made available for this expanded edition, more than any previous Men’s Rugby World Cup, reflecting the ambition to deliver a tournament that is truly for everyone. Whether it’s a lifelong supporter, a family discovering the tournament together, or visitors experiencing rugby on Australian soil for the first time, everyone will have the opportunity to be part of this iconic moment and global celebration.

Making the tournament as accessible as possible for everyone has been a key focus, with ticket prices for adults starting from just AUD$40 for pool matches, and $65 to watch the Wallabies in their home tournament. More than one million tickets will be available for under $100 across every stage of the tournament, ensuring all budgets are catered for.

Families have also been a core priority, with children’s tickets starting at $20 available for all matches except the semi-finals and the final. The aim is to encourage families to enjoy world class rugby in an unforgettable setting, creating lifelong memories. Children under two can attend RWC matches for free.

Tickets will be released in phases starting with a Presale in February 2026 for fans who register at rugbyworldcup.com/2027 before the end of January 2026, with further tickets sold via an Application Phase in May 2026.
