Singapore returns to the circuit in April, in place of Japan, and in May Paris returns for the first time in nearly a decade in place of the Scottish leg of the tour.
The South Africa Sevens, which is the second stop on the tour in mid-December, is moving from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town in one of two location switches for existing events.
The other sees the fourth stop in Australia move from the resort city of Gold Coast to the 45,500-seat Sydney Football Stadium on the weekend of Feb. 6-7, the middle of the southern hemisphere summer.
HSBC has signed a four-year extension of its partnership with World Rugby, which also includes the womens series.
