World Rugby has released the official tournament schedule for the first leg of the HSBC SVNS 2, scheduled to take place in Nairobi on 14 and 15 February 2026 at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya.
The ladies will kick off the action at 9am EAT when China take on Argentina; Spain and South Africa will take to the pitch 22 minutes later. The Kenya Lionesses face Brazil in the last match of the ladies’ first round.
The USA versus Belgium match will open the men’s first round of matches, followed by Uruguay facing Germany. Hosts, Kenya Shujaa, will wrap up this first session at 10:50am against Canada.
The full match schedule is available on the World Rugby website.
With all tickets sold out, the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) is encouraging fans to get to the stadium early so they can enjoy the full HSBC SVNS 2 experience.
At the same time, KRU is urging fans to use ride-hailing cabs and public transport, which will drop them off at Nyayo National Stadium, since there is no parking available at the venue.
