The Rugby World Cup has come around once again, and Chiang Mai’s loyal followers gear up for another season of late nights and wild adventures trying to find that late night showing. With the new, stricter venue closing times, later games are almost impossible to find at bars, (if you know of any, please let us know!), but we will keep looking! So apart from things out of our control, Citylife has gone to great lengths to bring you a comprehensive list of venues, promotions and of course a fixture schedule for all your rugby needs in Chiang Mai.
This information will be constantly updated, so check back regularly for any more information about venues, promotions and changes to fixtures. Promotional posters at bottom of page.
All games will be shown at these venues listed below. If a game’s kick off time is past their closing time, they will not be shown at that venue unless otherwise stated. Fox Sports Asia will be showing all the games in Thailand on a range of cable TV packages.
