Revised kick-off time – Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Quarter-finals 1 and 3

World Rugby has confirmed a revised kick-off time for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 quarter-finals 1 and 3, taking place at Sandy Park, Exeter on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September. Both matches will now begin at 13:00 BST, moved from the originally scheduled 12:30 BST start. The change has been made to better align with international broadcast schedules and ensure the tournament reaches the widest possible global audience.

Ticket purchasers for these two matches do not need to take any action — all tickets already bought remain valid. To ensure clarity and a smooth matchday experience, tickets issued to fans next month will clearly display the updated 13:00 BST kick-off time.

The revised timings promise two fantastic afternoons of knockout rugby, with the action continuing at Ashton Gate in Bristol on both days. Quarter-finals 2 and 4 remain scheduled to kick-off at 16:00 BST, setting the stage for an exciting and action-packed weekend across both host cities.

Fans attending and watching around the world can look forward to four high-stakes encounters as the top eight teams battle it out for a place in the semi-finals. With Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 promising to mark a generational moment for the sport, the updated schedule ensures the drama of the quarter-finals will be shared and celebrated by audiences across all time zones.
