Sevens rugby series reveals bold new direction


//

The world's best sevens rugby has a new home on Stan Sport.

Stan on Monday confirmed a new multi-year partnership to broadcast SVNS from 2024 on, replacing the World Rugby Sevens Series.

The new series format will include eight events from the biggest cities in the world in the lead up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games where sevens will again feature as one of the signature events.

Watch all the action from the SVNS 2024 on the Home of Rugby, Stan Sport. Every round exclusive and ad-free, live and on demand from December 2

The series will fully embrace gender parity with all eight rounds featuring not only combined men's and women's events, but also pay parity for both, ensuring that female players have equal opportunities to showcase their talents on the biggest stages around the world.

"Sevens rugby is the perfect addition to our Stan Sport lineup," Stan's director of sport Ben Kimber said.

"Building on the strength of our superb international slate of rugby, and connecting to the Paris Olympics where the Australian men's and women's teams will be right in the mix, sevens is fast, physical and entertaining year round.
