The event will once again draw massive crowds from all across the UAE.
The UAE has a very happening events calendar that offers something for everyone. From cultural festivals to sports tournaments, the country knows how to keep everyone entertained. One of the most anticipated events and permanent fixtures on this calendar is the Emirates Dubai 7s, and it’s making a return this year too.
Taking place from 28 to 30 November 2025, the Emirates Dubai 7s is a festival that promises three days of fun for all ages. Whether you’re a sports fan, a music lover, or simply looking for a great way to kickstart the long weekend celebrations of Eid al Etihad, the Emirates Dubai 7s happening at The Sevens Stadium is where you need to be.
Sports
The Emirates Dubai 7s is home to world-class rugby action, with Pitch 1 and 2 hosting HSBC SVNS 2025 series matches. Over three days, fans will witness 650 games of rugby sevens, including local and international teams competing in invitational tournaments. This year will also introduce two new categories: the International “Super” Social (Men) and the International Social (Women).
Beyond rugby, cricket fans can explore the Cricket Zone, featuring live entertainment and cricketing stars, along with matches in the Cricket 7s format. Netball, padel tournaments, and WODON3, a strength and fitness competition, are also on the agenda — registrations for which will open on 3 March. With over 6,000 athletes competing across 30 tournaments, there’s lots of sporting action at the Emirates Dubai 7s.
Music
The Emirates Dubai 7s isn’t just a sports event, it’s also a music festival featuring performances across three stages — Rugby Rocks, Beats on 2, and Frequency on 8. Last year saw Sugababes, Nathan Dave, Stormzy, and Artful Dodger take over the tournament, and this year’s expected to have epic headliners as well. Details for the acts are yet to be announced.
Activities
You can kick off the three-day Emirates Dubai 7s Festival with Family Friday, where entry is free for all. With entertainment, your little ones can enjoy soft play, inflatables, and meet their favourite characters and also enjoy the outdoor cinema. For budding performers, masterclasses in DJing and sports will also be available to try. Thrill-seekers can try the new festival zip wire, while a fancy dress theme runs on Saturday, 29 November.
