The game is designated as a home fixture for Fiji, who will play a series of three matches in the July Nations Championship schedule, also taking on England and Wales in Liverpool and Cardiff respectively.<\/p>\n
The inaugural Nations Championship matches are scheduled to kick off in July 2026. Scotland will visit Argentina and South Africa before returning to Edinburgh to play Fiji.<\/p>\n
Scottish Rugby will be supporting the matchday operations, marketing and ticketing for the Fiji fixture, working in close collaboration with Fiji Rugby.<\/p>\n
Scotland\u2019s most recent match against Fiji was last summer in Suva. The last match at Scottish Gas Murrayfield was in November 2024, when Scotland took the win in front of a sold-out stadium.<\/p>\n
Scotland has a long record of playing in the Pacific Islands and also visited Fiji in 2017 on Head Coach Gregor Townsend\u2019s first international tour.<\/p>\n
Scottish Rugby\u2019s Director of Stadium Development & Operations, Mark Laidlaw, said: \u201cWe are looking forward to hosting Fiji in their match against Scotland as part of the new Nations Championship in July.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis fixture is an added date in the calendar for our fans to support Scotland at Scottish Gas Murrayfield but also a chance for the Fiji diaspora to see their national team in this unique home match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be providing a full range of logistical and operational support to ensure this match at Scottish Gas Murrayfield is a success, for both Unions<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the match taking place in a key time for tourism in our capital city, I hope that a lot of visitors join us in what will be an exciting day of summer rugby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Koli Sewabu, CEO of Fiji Rugby Union, shared his excitement ahead of the tournament: \u201cAlthough our match against Scotland won\u2019t be played in Fiji, we\u2019re determined to make it feel every bit like a home game. Fans can expect a vibrant, festival-like atmosphere, a true celebration of Fijian rugby culture both on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll be giving absolutely everything on the field, and playing in a world-class stadium makes the occasion even more special. We\u2019re excited to share that stage with the incredible support we know will be there to lift us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s also a great opportunity to raise the profile of Fijian rugby, showcase our culture, and connect with our diaspora and fans from the Northern Hemisphere. The success of these fixtures will enable us to invest more into grassroots rugby supporting the continued growth and success of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
