Rugby league will be returning to Las Vegas in 2026 with the event signed off on and here’s everything you need to know about it.
The NRL and Super League have officially confirmed the six teams heading stateside in 2026 with the fact only six sides are heading over being a key change from 2025.
In 2025, we saw Wigan Warriors open up against Warrington Wolves with a women’s international Test between Australia and England sandwiched between two NRL games.
That women’s match has now been slashed with a number of reasons believed to be behind the decision, one of which is the length of the day with four games taking place. Moreover, the one-sided nature of the Test match made another such game less appealing.
As such, the rugby league event in Las Vegas in 2026 will see just three games, two from the NRL and one from Super League and here is everything you need to know about it.
Everything you need to know about the Rugby League Las Vegas event in 2026
Where is it?
Obviously, the Rugby League Las Vegas event will be in Las Vegas but it has now been confirmed that Allegiant Stadium will once again host the event, as it has done in 2024 and 2025.
When will Rugby League head to Las Vegas?
The games will take place on Saturday, 28th February but kick-off times are currently unconfirmed. Obviously, that date will vary based on where in the world you watch the games with the UK audience set to be watching the later games in the morning of Sunday, 1st March.
Which Super League teams are playing?
Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos will be the Super League representatives with the Robins sacrificing a home game at Craven Park in order to head to Las Vegas.
Which NRL teams are playing?
Canterbury Bulldogs will take on St George Illawarra Dragons whilst Newcastle Knights face off against North Queensland Cowboys.
How can I buy tickets for the Rugby League Las Vegas event?
Tickets do not officially go on sale until Tuesday 3rd June at 5pm and UK fans are encouraged to buy tickets via the specific UK fan link. Hull KR have explained the importance of that by confirming that a key way revenue is returned is via those links.
For the viability of Super League involvement long-term, using those links is very important. Fans can register interest via the Super League website, with the form linked here.
What events will be happening around the games?
Whilst everything is still to be confirmed, this year saw plenty happening with Fremont Street being the highlight. All the teams in action were unveiled with fans packing in to make a brilliant atmosphere. Given the success of it in 2025, expect it to be on the agenda for 2026 along with a number of other events that are TBC.

Its a shame they cannot work out how to make the WCC part of this event. I have often wanted to see Wigan take on my adopted team in Aus in this event and it would make Vegas all the more worthwhile for me. Still Congrats to Hull KR and Leeds, make it a big one guys.
