The summer of 2026 is once again set to speak the language of beach rugby with the EBRA Series 2026, the international circuit organized by the European Beach Rugby Association, bringing together some of the most prestigious events across the continent.

The calendar was supposed to kick off in mid-May with the Kortrijk stage in Belgium, unfortunately postponed to 2027. In June, the circuit will come to life with a double event on June 20, featuring Marseille with the South Beach Rugby Five and Porto in Portugal, confirming the international scope of the competition.

The journey will then continue in the Netherlands with the North Sea Beach Rugby (June 27–28), before one of the most anticipated weekends of the season: on July 4 and 5, two key stages will take place simultaneously in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy, and Costa Blanca, Spain.

The heart of the summer will then host another high-level double event: Vienna and Sopot, both scheduled for July 11–12, ready to welcome teams from all over Europe in a mix of spectacle, competition, and festive atmosphere.

The grand finale will take place in Italy, in Puglia, with the Magna Grecia Beach Rugby (July 18–19), which will also host the European Masters finals, the highlight of the season where the best teams of the circuit will be crowned.

The EBRA Series thus confirms itself as a winning format: fast, intense, and spectacular tournaments, played on smaller pitches with dynamic rules that enhance speed and individual skills. A model that over the years has contributed to the growth of beach rugby across Europe, attracting both men’s and women’s teams from numerous countries.

But it’s not just about competition. The EBRA Series also represents an opportunity for different sporting cultures to come together, with events that combine sport, music, and entertainment, turning each stage into a true summer festival.

With a rich calendar, stunning locations, and an ever-increasing technical level, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive and widely attended seasons ever. European beach rugby is ready to set the beaches on fire: the show has just begun.
