2026/27 BC Rugby Senior Club Season Key Dates

all roads lead to senior club finals!

It’s time to register for the 2026/27 BC Rugby Senior Club Season – check out the key dates for this year’s campaign below.

The countdown to another exciting season Senior Club Rugby in British Columbia is officially underway.

Clubs and players across the Lower Mainland are preparing to return to the field, with the new Senior season set to kick off on Saturday, September 12, 2026, launching another full slate of exciting competition across seven Senior Men’s and Women’s Divisions including our Men’s and Women’s Premier Leagues.

From opening weekend to Spring 2027, teams will compete for the opportunity to finish their season on the biggest stage. The campaign will culminate with the 2027 BC Rugby Senior Club Finals on Saturday, May 8, 2027, when the province’s top Club teams will battle for Championship honours.

A new addition to this year’s calendar sees the introduction of a five-match Senior Women’s Blue vs. Gold Series to run alongside the Women’s Premier League/Division 1. This Series is being developed in partnership with Rugby Canada and Senior Women’s National XVs Head Coach, Kevin Rouet, and will take place across five weekends in the Spring. More information on this Series and its Pathway will be announced in due course.

The Men’s Premier League welcomes two additional Clubs in Bayside Sharks RFC and the returning Vancouver Rowing Club, with the Pacific Pride no longer competing.

Full Play-Off formats for all Divisions will be confirmed in the coming weeks and posted on the BC Rugby website.

This season will also mark the continued rollout of the new Play HQ Registration system. As the transition to the new system continues, fixtures and leagues are being added into the new Play HQ system ahead of the season’s start. This will take time, but they will soon appear on the BC Rugby website – please be patient while our staff addresses this.  



With the new season fast approaching, BC Rugby is encouraging players to complete their registration as soon as possible on Play HQ and connect with their Clubs ahead of the opening weekend on September 12.
