2026 Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals confirmed

The Super Rugby Pacific Semi-Final fixtures have been confirmed with the Hurricanes and Chiefs securing home ground advantage courtesy of Qualifying Final victories.

The Semi-Final action kicks off at FMG Stadium Waikato on Friday 12 June with the Chiefs taking on the Crusaders, before the Hurricanes host the Blues at Hnry Stadium on Saturday 13 June.

The defending champion Crusaders have progressed to the Semi-Finals as third seed after besting the Blues, who are granted a second life as the highest-ranked losing team in the Qualifying Finals.

In becoming the competition's 'lucky loser', Vern Cotter's side are the designated fourth seed and will have to win back-to-back games away from home to claim the title.

Chiefs members will get the first shot at Semi-Final tickets from 10am NZST Sunday, followed by the general public from 2pm NZST Monday.

Tickets for Saturday's showdown in Wellington will go on sale to Hurricanes members from 10am NZST Sunday, Final Access Pass holders at 10am NZST Monday and the general public from 6pm NZST Monday.
