The above document highlights some of the changes to BUCS’ Sport Specific Regulations for the 2026-27 season that institutions/Playing Entities should be aware of.

It is not a record of all changes, as it does not contain details of any minor editorial changes, such as wording changes which do not affect the purpose of the regulations, or changes to numbering where regulations have been reordered.

  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Lacrosse
  • Lacrosse 6s
  • Rugby Union
  • Sailing

Updated versions of the document will be published when there are further updates to regulations.
