Draws have just been released for the 2026 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific with the soccer crazy town of Ba to host its first ever Super Rugby game at the newly opened Four R Stadium, where the Drua will play the Brumbies on 14th March.
The new season sees Moana Pasifika, the Hurricanes, Queensland Reds, Western Force, Highlanders and New South Wales Waratahs heading to Fiji.
Headlining the new season is confirmation that Fiji’s Western town of Ba will host its first ever Super Rugby Pacific competition when the Fijian Drua take on the Brumbies at the newly opened Four R Stadium on 14th March 2026.
The fixture will brand global attention and interest to the venue and the town which is traditionally a football powerhouse in Fiji. Formerly known as Govind Park, Ba’s Four R Stadium features a new 9,000-seater stand, multiple change rooms, corporate hospitality facilities and other modern amenities.
Fijian Drua General Manager Commercial Shane Hussein says it is fantastic for to be able to take a Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific match to the fans and Vanua of Ba.
Hussein says the new Four R Stadium has Fiji’s largest grandstand with more than 9,000 seats which means they will be able to offer multiple seated tickets at great value prices.
The Drua kick off their season at their Lautoka Fortress of Churchill Park on 14 February against Pacific brothers Moana Pasifika.
They travel to Sydney the following week to face arch-rivals, the Waratahs on 20th February.
The Drua return to Fiji for three straight matches, taking on the Hurricanes in Lautoka on 28th February, followed by a Bye Week, with matches against the ACT Brumbies in Ba on 14th March and the Queensland Reds in Lautoka on 21st March.
The Drua are on the road for the next fortnight, traveling to Auckland to face the Blues on 28th March and the defending champions, the Crusaders, in Christchurch on 3rd April. They return home to face the Western Force in Round 9 at home, with the match venue to be confirmed.
The team has another fortnight on the road, travelling to Canberra to face the Brumbies on 17th April and the Chiefs on 26 April in Christchurch as part of the exciting new Super Round.
Five matches across this weekend will be held at the new One NZ Stadium in Christchurch, offering fans the opportunity to multiple top-quality fixtures across all three days.
The Drua return to Fiji for rounds 12 and 14, with a Bye Week in Round 13. They take on the Highlanders on 2 May, with a venue yet to be confirmed for the match.
The Drua’s final home match of the season sees them take on the Waratahs on 16th May at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
They are on the road for their final two regular season matches, taking on the Force in Perth on 23rd May and the Reds in Brisbane on 29th May.
