Major League Rugby 2026 Championship

Major League Rugby (MLR) is bringing its Championship match back to Bridgeview’s SeatGeek Stadium in 2026! Located just outside of downtown Chicago, the home of the Chicago Hounds boasts a rich rugby culture sure to bring out thousands of fans for the title match.

After an 11-week regular season, the league’s top four teams will advance to a single-elimination tournament. The semifinal round will match up the league’s No. 1 and No. 4 teams and the league’s No. 2 and No. 3 teams in a Sunday Night Rugby doubleheader, with the winners advancing to the championship at SeatGeek Stadium the following week.

Additional information on ticket sales and event updates will be shared later in the season, and fans can register for presale information about the 2026 MLR Championship.
