World Sevens Football London | Everything you need to know
The World Sevens Football London edition is nearly upon us!
Competing in the unique competition for the first time, we will be playing alongside seven other clubs across a three-day tournament in west London, starting on Thursday 28 May to Saturday 30 May.
An event that aims to be high-energy, exciting and competitive, Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium will play host to the first-ever edition in England’s capital – previously held in Portugal and Florida over the last 12 months.
Ahead of the start of the competition, here’s everything you need to know about our debut in the tournament…
When does it start?
The World Sevens tournament kicks off on Thursday 28 May with the group phase running until Friday (29 May) evening.
Should we reach the semi-final of the competition, that will be held on Saturday 30 May with the final also taking place on the same day.
How to watch and follow the tournament?
Supporters in the UK can still buy tickets for the event across the three days if you wish to cheer on the squad in person.
For those who can’t attend on any of the days, each match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK or DAZN Football around the world.
We’ll have a live blog throughout the tournament providing unique behind-the-scenes access and matchday coverage and you can keep up-to-date via our social channels and the official Spurs app.
Who else is participating in the tournament?
We will be joined by Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester City, London City Lionesses and West Ham United.

It starts with a round-robin group stage split into two groups of four teams, with us first taking on Villa at 6pm (UK) before two games on Friday 29 May against West Ham (4pm) and Manchester United (8pm) in Group 2.
The top two clubs advance to the semi finals on Saturday 30 May with the first tie taking place on 11am followed by 12noon. A W7F champion will be crowned that same day with the final scheduled for 2.30pm.
