Cardiff Rugby have renewed their partnership with Cardiff LUDO Sports & Live Lounge – providing the perfect home away from home during the Blue & Blacks 150th season.

The St Mary Street venue has quickly established itself as the premier place to watch live sport in the Welsh capital and they are once again Cardiff Rugby’s Official Bar Partner for 2026-27.

Conveniently located just a stone’s throw from the Arms Park, LUDO is the ideal spot for Cardiff Rugby fans to enjoy food and drinks before or after a match, or to cheer on their team when the squad is on the road.

Every Cardiff Rugby fixture will be shown live on LUDO’s UHD screens, and supporters are encouraged to bring friends and family along, soak up the atmosphere, and celebrate rugby together.

Cardiff Rugby Commercial Director, Jack Butler, said: “We’re delighted to be renewing our partnership with LUDO as our Official Bar Partner.

“The team at LUDO have been fantastic supporters of the club, creating a brilliant destination for our fans to come together and watch Cardiff Rugby, particularly when the team is playing away from home.

“They’ve also been great in helping us engage with our growing student audience through some really generous offers, making rugby more accessible and helping us connect with supporters across the city.

“Our off-site hospitality offering proved really popular last season, and we’re excited to build on that success by expanding the experience to even more fixtures this year.

“A big thank you to Colin and the wider team at LUDO for their continued support. We’re really looking forward to building on what has already become a fantastic partnership.”

Beyond matchday screenings, the partnership will play a key role in several major Cardiff Rugby events throughout the season.

LUDO will serve as Cardiff Rugby’s official off-site hospitality venue for a number of the club’s biggest fixtures, including Bath, Montpellier, Dragons, Scarlets and Ospreys. Supporters looking to elevate their matchday experience can enjoy a premium pre-match hospitality offering just moments from Cardiff Arms Park.

As part of Cardiff Rugby’s 150th anniversary celebrations, LUDO will also host a special pre-match gathering for former players ahead of the Ulster fixture, providing an opportunity for club legends to reconnect and celebrate the rich history of Cardiff Rugby.

For the Sharks fixture, students will be able to enjoy a complimentary pint at LUDO before or after the match on presentation of their match ticket, creating an exciting matchday experience for the next generation of Cardiff Rugby supporters.

As part of the partnership, Cardiff Rugby players, staff and supporters can enjoy 20% discount on food and drinks. LUDO are also the proud Player Sponsor of Dan Thomas.

LUDO Cardiff opened its doors in September 2025, bringing a vibrant sports bar to the Welsh capital, Colin Sadler, Managing Director of LUDO, said: “We’re very proud to be renewing our partnership with Cardiff Rugby. There’s a real passion surrounding the club, and it has been fantastic to see the relationship between LUDO and Cardiff Rugby supporters continue to grow. We’re excited to continue working together and to keep delivering great experiences for Cardiff Rugby fans.”
