Rugby World Cup 2023 tickets on sale

Tickets for the 2023 Rugby World Cup hosted in France go on pre-sale on March 15 at 11am GMT, with 2.6 million tickets are available for the tenth edition of the tournament.

The Follow my Team package enables a fan to attend all four pool matches of an already qualified team, with the option of tickets to the quarter-final, should they progress to that stage.

Conversely, the City package enables a fan to attend at least three pool matches in one of the nine host cities. Unfortunately, the Stade de France is excluded from the City package. Each city will include a compulsory fixture as part of the City package, with the remaining options free to choose.

Tickets for the opening fixture of the 2023 Rugby World Cup between France and New Zealand, on 8 September 2023, are also exempt from both package deals.

There are four different price categories for the event. For example, fans can watch three matches in Toulouse from €58 in category four, including New Zealand and Japan. Similarly, the Lille pack features three matches including England, Scotland and France for €70.

Following the pre-sale period between March 15 and April 5, general sale for the City and Follow my Team tickets open. Operating on a first come first serve basis, general sale opens at 5pm GMT on April 6.

Individual match tickets aren’t available until 2022.
