Rugby fans in Queensland and across the globe can start to plan for the Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 with the ticketing program unveiled today.
Making the tournament as accessible as possible for everyone has been a key focus with ticket prices for adults starting from just $40 for pool matches and $65 to watch the Wallabies in their home tournament.
More than one million tickets will be available for under $100 across every stage of the tournament.
This will include the 14 World Cup matches to be staged in Queensland…10 at Brisbane Stadium (Lang Park) and four at North Queensland Stadium in Townsville.
This includes two Round-of-16 matches and two bumper quarter-finals in Brisbane when the tournament (October 1 to November 13, 2027) reaches the knockout stages.
A ticketing program embodying such inclusivity is aimed at ensuring the game’s biggest stage is open to all.
The first tickets will be on sale in February, 2026. Fans are encouraged to register in advance from today at rugbyworldcup.com/2027 to give themselves the best chance to secure tickets.
In total, more than 2.5 million tickets will be made available for this expanded edition which will showcase 24 rugby nations for the first time.
This is more tickets than for any previous Rugby World Cup. Whether you are a diehard supporter over many years, a family wanting to embrace a sporting tournament experience together for the first time or visitors from abroad, everyone will have the opportunity to be part of rugby’s global celebration.
Families have also been a core priority, with children’s tickets starting at $20. Chuldren’s tickets at that price will be available for all matches, except the semi-finals and the final. The aim is to encourage families to enjoy world-class rugby in an unforgettable setting and the lifelong memories that can be created. Children under two can attend RWC matches for free.

A NEW ERA OF RUGBY WORLD CUP EXPERIENCES
As well as general tickets going on sale in February, from Wednesday, 30 July, fans can purchase ticket-inclusive premium experience and hospitality packages that include world-class hospitality and immersive experiences across eight of the best matches, including the opening match and the Rugby World Cup final.
A full range of ticket-inclusive travel packages – ideal for both domestic and international fans – will follow in 2026, providing fully inclusive travel, accommodation and tour experiences.
World Rugby Chair Brett Robinson said: “This ticketing program has been designed with one simple principle: put the fans first.
“For the first time in over two decades, Men’s Rugby World Cup returns to Australian shores, and we’re determined to make it bigger, bolder, and more accessible than ever before.
“With more than 2.5 million tickets available, a wide range of pricing options, and innovations like the Superfan Pass, we’re giving every fan — whether lifelong supporter or first-time attendee — the chance to be part of something truly special.
“Rugby World Cup 2027 is more than a tournament; it’s a celebration of everything great about our game.
“It’s about reigniting the love for rugby, inspiring a new generation, and showcasing our values to the world.
“We want every ticket, every cheer, every moment to help grow the game worldwide.”
The online platform will be easy to use with no hidden fees, and fully accessible. Fans will be able to purchase Wheelchair Bay seats alongside free Companion tickets, and Easy Access seating will be available for those with specific mobility or accessibility needs.
With 250,000 international visitors expected over the six-week period, the tournament is projected to generate $1.3 billion in direct visitor expenditure across the country and seven host cities.
