Purple & Gold Tickets Are Live!
Tickets for our 2026 Purple & Gold Event are now live!
We’re excited to announce that tickets are officially on sale for the 2026 Husky Rugby Alumni Weekend, taking place April 24–26. One of the most anticipated events on the Husky Rugby calendar, the Alumni Weekend brings together alumni, supporters, families, and the current squad to celebrate the past, present, and future of the program.
The schedule of events for the weekend are as follows:
April 24 - Rugby double header - UW will be playing an exhibition match as a curtain raiser for the Seattle Seawolves v Chicago Hounds MLR game
April 25 - The Purple & Gold Fundraiser Dinner - 4:30-9:30PM PST, hosted at Stone Way Auto, located at 3621 Stone Way N, Seattle, WA 98103
April 26 - Friendly touch rugby session for all who care to join
The Purple & Gold Event is more than a dinner—it’s a chance to reconnect with former teammates, meet the next generation of Huskies, and hear firsthand how the program continues to grow on and off the field. In addition to the celebration, the Purple & Gold Event will feature a live auction, giving attendees the chance to bid on unique items and experiences while directly supporting the future of Husky Rugby.
Ticket sales for both the rugby double header and Purple & Gold Dinner are now open, and we encourage alumni and supporters to secure their spot early. Whether you’ve attended every year or this will be your first time back, the Purple & Gold Event is a cornerstone of Husky Rugby tradition and a celebration you won’t want to miss. Get your tickets now and join us for an unforgettable Alumni Weekend.
