HSBC SVNS Singapore returns to National Stadium with more on and off-pitch action on April 5 and 6 – and it's not just for the rugby purists. Over the years, the sporting event has evolved into a full-blown celebration. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan, a party animal, or just someone looking for an epic day out with the family, you’re in for a weekend like no other. 

Witness the top 12 men's and women's rugby sevens teams battle it out on the pitch. As the final stop before the World Championships, this is where the HSBC SVNS League Winners will be crowned. New Zealand Women have made the podium at every event so far this season and look tough to beat, while in the men’s competition, it’s a tight fight between front-runners Argentina, Spain, Fiji, and South Africa – with only a handful of points separating them. With the competition at its peak, you just can't miss the end of this title race.

Plus, with all the new experiences added for 2025, this year’s festival promises to be even bigger and better. Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect.

The Kids Zone

For family-friendly fun

Great for younglings aged between four and 10, the Kids Zone amps up the fun factor with a myriad of games. Get them involved in everything from tag rugby to basketball shootouts, football penalty challenges, floorball dribbling circuits, and badminton target practice. They can even have a go in the softball batting cage. Make it onto the leaderboard for a chance to win a prize.

In honour of Singapore’s 60th birthday, step back in time and try your hand at local games like Five Stones, Tikam Tikam, Marbles, Chapteh, and Pick Up Sticks. Face painting and airbrush tattoos are also part of the deal, ensuring your little ones leave with something memorable.

The Beach Club

For social butterflies

If the thrill of rugby doesn't quite hit the mark for you, don’t worry – the Beach Club is where things get interesting. With beach vibes, laid-back seating, and tunes pumped out by SVNS house DJs all day long, this is a great spot to live out your best summer dreams. This year, it'll be located pitch side, so you can get even closer to the action. And if you’re looking for an excuse to don your whackiest outfit, the event’s iconic fancy dress tradition will make your inner show-off do a happy dance. Bonus points for matching outfits with your squad. Yes, it's as fun as it sounds.

Ancillary Events

For athletes of all levels

For those who prefer getting in on the action rather than just watching from the sidelines, HSBC SVNS has an array of ancillary events that bring out your competitive side. The Titans Ruck and Rumble tournament is perfect for junior rugby players itching to show off their skills, while the Furious Fives Beach Rugby offers a more casual version of rugby on the shores of Palawan Beach in Sentosa. And let’s not forget the SGNA Netball Tournament, which sees fierce competition from juniors and women’s teams. Even if you’re not in it for the win, you’ll have a blast participating in the community-driven atmosphere of these events.

REVL Fitness

For some high-energy competition

In case you thought HSBC SVNS was only about rugby, think again. Fitness enthusiasts will want to get involved in REVL Fitness on March 31 – a high-energy competition designed to test your strength, endurance, and teamwork. Hosted by fitness studio brand REVL SG at the OCBC Arena Hall 1, the event features teams of two men and two women competing in a series of challenges. If you're into fitness but also want to mix it up with a bit of friendly competition, this is your chance to show your stuff before the festival weekend kicks off. 

Tickets start from just $50 for adults and $10 for under 16s. Get the two-day pass from $90 to not miss a moment of the action. Buy yours here.
