How to Watch The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series

About The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series

This weekend’s final tournament from Los Angeles will be the culminating event in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens series. The matches are played in the rugby sevens style, meaning there are seven players on each team, using a full rugby field. Games are much faster than a normal rugby match, with just seven minutes in each half. This is also the format used in the Olympics, and the tournament features both men’s and women’s national teams. The series has 10 tournament-style events that take place around the globe in cities like London, Dubai, and Singapore.

This year’s tournament features a battle of past champions at the top of the standings. Reigning 2021 champion South Africa currently sits in the top spot with 124 points. Just two points behind sits 14-time top six finisher Australia, with Argentina currently in third at 118 points. The USA is currently in the sixth position with 84 points, but this weekend’s play could vault them into the championship position.

NBC is offering limited coverage of this event on one of its linear channels, CNBC. That coverage will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 27 and 5 to 9 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 28. However, in order to make sure you don’t miss a minute of the 15 hours of coverage of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, you’ll want a subscription to Peacock.
