What Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves fans can expect as NRL Las Vegas schedule confirmed

The official schedule for the NRL’s Las Vegas season launch has been revealed with Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves set for a huge week.

It’s expected that around 10,000 Super League fans will travel with many of those representing Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves, the two teams who kick off the full day of rugby league on March 1st.

We already knew that Wigan and Wire would play the first match with kick off slated for 9:30 pm UK time before the England and Australia Women’s international was sandwiched in between the two NRL games.

However, further details have now been provided for the full week’s schedule with three more international games, a Nines tournament and a Fan Lunch.

The event is just under six weeks away but anticipation is already high for those involved and those spectating and now we have a full schedule confirmed, that anticipation is only going to keep ramping up.
