After Round Three of Super League there have been yet more impressive attendances, including in Las Vegas where Wigan Warriors beat Warrington Wolves.
In the first year that Super League was involved in the Las Vegas extravaganza, the number of English fans was a notable feature with the Fremont Street party seeing Wigan, Warrington and other fans out in force.
That heavy English presence has reportedly impressed the NRL with Rhodri Jones confirming that Super League will return to Vegas in 2026 where the attendances could rise yet again.
From the 2024 figure of 40,746, there was an increase of over 4,000 with the official crowd at the Allegiant Stadium confirmed to be 45,209, however, it’s believed that 11,000 English fans travelled.
That total of 11,000 English fans is more than attended four of the other five Super League games which highlights the passion for a game in Las Vegas and also explains some of the smaller attendances in Round Three.

Round Three of Super League started on Thursday as Hull KR tore apart a sorry Salford side in front of a strong crowd at Craven Park, however, a number of Red Devils fans couldn’t make it or were delayed due to incidents on the M62.
Moreover, the Robins don’t share their attendance figures weekly but instead at their quarterly reviews but the game was a home sell-out.
Friday saw KR’s rivals Hull FC defeat Huddersfield 11-10 at the John Smith’s Stadium where less than 5,000 turned out, whilst Leigh followed KR and kept their 100% record up in front of 8,000 with a win over Catalans.
Saturday’s English-based action saw Wakefield post a crowd of over 7,500 as St Helens defeated them before we headed stateside for the main event in Las Vegas where Wigan ran riot against Warrington Wolves.
Concluding the weekend was the biggest UK-based attendance as almost 15,000 turned out at Headingley to watch Leeds Rhinos beat Castleford Tigers.
