The BIGGEST night in the uni calendar is back! London Varsity Rugby returns to a brand new stadium: Ealing Trailfinders Rugby Club in the one day that defines the entire season. Fresh off the Strand Cup, the men’s team are looking sharp, and the women’s team are hunting a seventh straight year of making UCL look ordinary.

Red vs Purple, KCL vs UCL, eighty minutes to settle the iconic rivalry at the founding fixture of the Varsity series including a halftime show by the KCL Lions - You won’t want to miss this night!

You won't find this in your reading lists, but you'll remember it longer than anything you study. This is THE Varsity, and if you haven't been, you haven't been to King's.

With three thousand spectators, the KCL Sea of Red filling the stands, student pints, great food, an afterparty, and an electric atmosphere, come watch us write a new chapter in the Varsity story and celebrate all the hard work put into both KCL Rugby Clubs in the culmination of the 2026 London Varsity Series.
