Saturday 22 May: A Full Day of Rugby at the Greenyards
Saturday is the main ticketed day of Melrose Sevens 2027, bringing together established competitions and the next generation of rugby talent.
The programme includes the 1883 Centenary Cup, the men's competition named in recognition of the year rugby sevens began in Melrose.
The Breadalbane Doddie Claymore will also return, providing a showcase for women's rugby and another exciting element of the day's competition.
Young players will also have their chance to shine across the weekend, with the U18 Girls' Sevens Tournament taking place on Friday and the U18 Boys' Sevens Tournament joining Saturday's programme. With eight girls' teams and ten boys' teams expected to compete, both tournaments offer an exciting opportunity for emerging talent to experience rugby at the birthplace of sevens.
Participating teams in the senior competitions will be announced as preparations for the tournament continue.
From the opening matches to the closing stages of the competitions, Saturday promises plenty of rugby to enjoy.
More Than Rugby: Make a Day of It
Of course, Melrose Sevens has always been about more than what happens on the pitch.
For many visitors, it's the combination of rugby and the atmosphere around the Greenyards that makes the occasion so memorable. Meeting friends, spending time with family and enjoying everything happening around the ground are all part of the experience.
The Family Food Village will return in 2027, offering a place to enjoy food and spend time together throughout the day.
And when the rugby finishes, there's no need to head straight home.
Saturday evening will feature a refreshed entertainment programme, with a lively party atmosphere in the Fanzone and live band entertainment in the 1883 area for those who prefer a more traditional live music experience.
Both evening entertainment areas are included with Saturday admission, so all Saturday ticket holders can enjoy the celebrations.
Further entertainment details will be announced closer to the event.

A Sporting Tradition That Began in Melrose
There are rugby sevens tournaments around the world today, but it all began in Melrose in 1883.
That history is part of what makes the Greenyards such a special place to watch the game. Generations of players and supporters have gathered here, and every new tournament adds another chapter to the story.
The 2027 celebrations will also include a heritage wreath-laying ceremony on Thursday 20 May, recognising the origins of the sport and the people who helped establish it.
For those who have attended before, returning to Melrose is a chance to enjoy a familiar tradition. For first-time visitors, it's an opportunity to discover why this tournament continues to hold such an important place in rugby's history. And if you need a reminder of what makes the occasion so special, take a look back at Melrose Sevens 2026 for a taste of the action and atmosphere.
