Perth SVNS Jan 24-26: Schedule, Results, How to Watch

The pools are set for the highly anticipated HSBC SVNS stop in Perth on January 24-26, where defending SVNS champions Australia headline Pool C alongside France, China, and Spain, while Olympic champions New Zealand lead Pool A with Japan, Ireland, and Brazil, and Pool B features Olympic silver and bronze medallists Canada and the USA against Great Britain and Fiji.

What’s at Stake

The 2025 HSBC SVNS season will build toward a dramatic finish in Los Angeles at Dignity Health Sports Park, the venue for the LA 2028 Olympic rugby sevens competition. After six regular-season stops—Dubai, Cape Town, Perth, Vancouver, Hong Kong, and Singapore—the top eight teams based on cumulative series points will advance to the HSBC SVNS World Championship, where the men’s and women’s champions will be crowned in a high-stakes, winner-takes-all showdown.

But that’s not the only battle happening in LA. The bottom four teams (9th-12th) will enter the high-stakes promotion and relegation playoff, facing the top four teams from the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series. Only the best will secure their place in the next HSBC SVNS season, making every match in LA a fight for survival.
