There were several significant changes to the schedule:

• The New Zealand event moved from Wellington, which had hosted an event in every previous season of the series, to Hamilton.
• The Australia and New Zealand events will swap places in the tournament order.
• The schedule includes a break for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which will hold its sevens tournament on 14–15 April at Gold Coast.
• The Paris and London Sevens, which swapped places in the season order, will take place several weeks later than usual in order to provide more rest for players, many of whom will have been involved in the Commonwealth Games.
