Gaelic football joins the programme
The official sport pages list Gaelic football as the festival’s first tournament in the code, joining invitational rugby, netball, cricket, Rebound padel and WODON3 fitness. Gulf News and Khaleej Times reported in mid-August that the inaugural competition, delivered with the Middle East GAA, will run elite and open tournaments for men and women in a seven-a-side format.
Organisers confirmed in July that Emirates Dubai 7s opens the 2026/27 HSBC SVNS Series, with the world’s top men’s and women’s teams at The Sevens on 28 and 29 November.
The Sevens, National Day and what comes next
The dates sit immediately ahead of UAE National Day on 2 December. Festival director Mathew Tait linked the wider family offer to the UAE’s Year of the Family.
What makes Emirates Dubai 7s special is the mix of people and communities it brings together. You can have the world’s best rugby sevens players competing on Pitch 1 while thousands of people take part in their own sports across the festival, families spend the day together and others come for the music and entertainment.
Mathew Tait, festival director, Emirates Dubai 7s, speaking to The National
We’ve expanded that experience again for 2026, particularly for families as the UAE celebrates the ‘year of the family’, while continuing to grow the sporting and entertainment programme. With tickets now on sale, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to The Sevens Stadium in November.
The venue is The Sevens Stadium on Al Ain Road, about 20 minutes from central Dubai, with free public parking listed on the official info pages. Music headliners have not been named. The tickets page lists local artists and DJ sets on Friday and headliner sets on Saturday and Sunday; The National said the full entertainment line-up will follow in the coming months.
The same stretch already includes Trevor Noah at Dubai Opera on 25 and 26 November. Official 2026 dates and general-admission prices are live, and Gaelic football is confirmed on the programme.
