Reigning National Champions Open XVs Play
BERKELEY – The California rugby team will play its first 15-a-side contest of the 2026-27 campaign Saturday afternoon against Western Washington University. The reigning national XVs champion Golden Bears will welcome the Vikings to Witter Rugby Field, with kickoff slated for 1 p.m. PT.
Cal is coming off a sweep of the West Coast Sevens circuit, where its top side went undefeated and claimed all three tournament titles in Los Angeles, Palo Alto and San Diego. The Bears spent most of the fall semester training in the Olympic version of the game before turning their focus to XVs play over the last three weeks.
