Teams and format
editThe total number of teams for the 2023–24 Sevens Series was reduced from sixteen to twelve, similar to the Women's series.[1] Canada men won the Promotion/Relegation play-off in London on 21 May 2023,[2] and thus make up the twelfth team and South Africa women were promoted from the Challenger Series.
The tournament takes place over seven months and consists of eight events,[3] with the final event holding the top eight-placed teams in a Grand Final event. The teams placed between nine–twelve will compete in a promotion/relegation-style event with other teams to decide which stay as core teams.[1][4]
