World Rugby Sevens live stream 2022: how to watch the London Sevens free online

The Men's World Rugby Sevens touches down at London's Twickenham Stadium this weekend (28th - 29nd May 2022). The action kicks off with a blockbuster clash between Australia and New Zealand at 9.10am BST on Saturday morning. US rugby fans can stream every moment live with a Peacock 7-day free trial. Make sure you know how to watch a World Rugby Sevens live stream from wherever you are with a VPN.

The HSBC World Rugby 7s Series 2022 comprises nine men’s and six women’s rounds. This year's calendar has taken us to many of the usual stopovers plus three new cities (Malaga, Seville and Toulouse replace traditional hosts Australia and New Zealand).

So far, we've been treated to some stunning displays. On the men's side, defending champions South Africa blew away the competition early doors, but after a poor showing in Toulouse last week, have dropped to second in the table. Can new leaders Argentina extend their two point lead at Twickers? Or will South African return to the top?

After the London Sevens is done and dusted, it's onto the final leg of the competition in sunny Los Angeles (27-28 August).

Rugby fans in the US can watch free with a Peacock 7-day trial but make sure you know how to get a free World Rugby Sevens live stream from where you are.

As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 percent risk-free money back guarantee.
