Tips for buying Rugby World Cup 2027 knockout tickets
- Pick by city if you are travelling. Each Round of 16 venue hosts one match on Saturday 23 and one on Sunday 24 October, so one base can cover two knockout matches.
- Follow both outcomes. For Pools A, B, C and D, the winner and the runner-up play their Round of 16 matches in the same city, so a hotel there covers either result.
- Check the seat category. Category 1 is the sideline closest to halfway; Categories 4 to 6 are behind the posts and in the upper tiers. Use the seating maps above.
- Plan the trip. Our Rugby World Cup 2027 travel planning guide covers where to stay and how to reach each stadium.
