Dubai will have a back-to-back series, with its second event held from the 3rd to the 4th of December.

Spain will host a Series for the first time with combined men’s and women’s events from January 21st to the 23rd and January 28th to the 30th respectively.

This is to replace traditional Series hosts Sydney, Australia, and Hamilton, New Zealand, who were unable to host in 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in their region.

The men’s Series continues with North American rounds in Vancouver on February 26th to 27th and Los Angeles on March 5-6.

It will return to Hong Kong in April from the 1st to the 3rd, followed by a men’s event in Singapore on 9-10 April.

The men’s Series concludes with the final event in London on 28-29 May.

There are also changes with the competing teams.

Japan join the men’s Series as a core team following their promotion as HSBC World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series champions in 2020.
