The wait is almost over. The inaugural Rugby Premier League kicks off June 15, marking a historic leap for Indian rugby and a first-of-its-kind moment for the global sevens scene.
Six franchises are locked in and gearing up to deliver opening fireworks, while some of the biggest names in international Rugby Sevens have already landed in Mumbai, ready to light up Season 1.
But this league isn’t just about the big names. It’s a massive opportunity for India’s top rugby talent to share the pitch with the best in the world and soak in top-tier experience at home. Backed by private investors, broadcasters, and global rugby minds, the RPL is designed as a high-performance, commercially viable platform, a serious statement of intent from Rugby India.
