A unique sporting spectacle that passes through Valladolid before stopping in Bordeaux
From May 29 to 31, 2026, Valladolid will host a major event on the global rugby sevens circuit. At the legendary José Zorrilla Stadium, 24 teams—the top 12 men’s and women’s national teams —will face off in a tournament that is as intense as it is fast-paced. Here, everything moves at breakneck speed: short matches, spectacular plays, and constant suspense. A rare opportunity to see the world’s best teams up close in an electric atmosphere!
But the experience goes far beyond the field. FanZone, concerts, DJ sets, culinary experiences… The event takes on the feel of a festival where people come as much to enjoy the excitement as to share the experience. A key stop before the grand final in Bordeaux scheduled for June 5–7, where the cards will be definitively reshuffled.
