Record-breaking pre-sales
Sarah Massey, Rugby World Cup England 2025 Managing Director, said: “Ticketmaster is playing a key role in World Rugby’s vision to grow the women’s game globally, by making the sport more accessible and more relevant to a wider audience. The public response to the tournament’s opening and finals matches pre-sale has been incredible with all the available 60,000 inventory snapped up in August and September. It is a record for Women’s Rugby World Cup, clearly cementing the event as the must-see sporting event of 2025 in the UK.”
With the match schedule announced, fans can start planning. An application process for all matches – including a limited number of tickets for the final – will go live from 11:00 (GMT) on 5 November at tickets.rugbyworldcup.com, and it’s expected to be a hot ticket for sports and entertainment fans.
Diverse and Accessible Venues
England 2026 is set to be the biggest ever Women’s tournament, with 16 teams competing and the world’s best players showcasing their talent in Sunderland, Brighton, Bristol, Exeter, Northampton, Manchester, York, and London. With 95% of the country within two hours of a match, it’s never been easier to catch the action. England will open their campaign with the first match at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland on 22 August, a spectacle not to miss.
The Twickenham Stadium, with its 82,000-seat capacity, will host the bronze and final on 27 September, setting a new single event attendance record for women’s rugby.
