The 2022 Series will feature 10 men’s and seven women’s rounds over six months. It will be kicking off with a pair of combined men’s and women’s events in Dubai. The Emirates Dubai Sevens will host behind closed doors round on 26-27 November 2021. This is followed by a second event on 3-4 December with fans in attendance at The Sevens Stadium.

The Series will then return to Europe as Spain plays host for the first time with combined men’s and women’s events in Malaga and Seville. They will be on 21-23 and 28-30 January 2022 respectively.
The new venues in Spain temporarily replace traditional Series hosts Sydney, Australia, and Hamilton, New Zealand. They were unable to host in 2022 due to the logistical challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in their region.
The men’s Series continues with North American rounds in Vancouver on 26-27 February and Los Angeles on 5-6 March before moving to Asia where Hong Kong returns to host a combined men’s and women’s event on 1-3 April, followed by a men’s event in Singapore on 9-10 April.
A women’s standalone event will take place in Langford, Canada, on 30 April-1 May before both men’s and women’s teams travel to a new Series venue in Toulouse, France, on 20-22 May where the women’s Series champions will be crowned. The men’s Series concludes with the final event in London on 28-29 May.
