The 2026 Las Vegas showcase will feature two NRL Premiership games and a Super League fixture. Canterbury‑Bankstown Bulldogs will take on St George Illawarra Dragons, and Newcastle Knights will face North Queensland Cowboys. In addition, English clubs Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos will play a premiership match, bringing the best of the UK Super League to America. This triple‑header format showcases elite rugby league talent to a North American audience and provides fans with three high‑quality games in one day.

All matches will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 65,000‑seat venue is home to the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders and boasts state‑of‑the‑art facilities, including a translucent roof and climate‑controlled bowl. Located adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, Allegiant Stadium is accessible via a pedestrian bridge from Mandalay Bay and by rideshare, taxis and shuttle buses. Premium suites, club lounges and spacious concourses make it an ideal setting for rugby league on American soil.

The Rugby League Las Vegas event is scheduled for Saturday, 28 February 2026, kicking off the NRL Premiership season on American soil. Fans are encouraged to arrive mid‑week to enjoy pre‑game celebrations, team fan days and the NRL’s season launch events in Las Vegas. The weekend culminates with all three matches on Saturday, followed by post‑game parties on the Strip.

Three games will be played in Las Vegas: two NRL regular‑season fixtures and one UK Super League match. Unlike Magic Round where eight games are spread over three days, the Las Vegas concept condenses the action into a single afternoon and evening, giving spectators an intense day of rugby league. The matches will be spaced to allow time for warm‑ups, entertainment and stadium turnover between fixtures.

We offer comprehensive packages that include official match tickets, return flights to Las Vegas, accommodation on or near the Strip, and airport transfers. Options range from three‑night stays to week‑long itineraries incorporating Las Vegas attractions. Flexible extensions to Los Angeles, San Francisco or national parks can be added on request.

The Las Vegas rugby league extravaganza marks regular‑season NRL games are staged in the United States. Hosting the event in America aligns with the NRL’s strategy to grow the sport internationally and tap into new markets. Fans will experience Australian rugby league mixed with Las Vegas entertainment, from casino nights to world‑class shows, creating a sporting holiday unlike any other. The triple‑header format ensures a full day of elite competition and showcases the contrasting playing styles of Australian and British clubs.

Allegiant Stadium sits just west of the Las Vegas Strip. Guests can walk from major hotels via the Hacienda Avenue pedestrian bridge or take taxis and rideshare services directly to the drop‑off points. Inside the stadium you’ll find comfortable seating, wide concourses, high‑definition screens and a variety of food and beverage outlets. Security screening follows NFL standards, so allow extra time for entry.

Las Vegas in late February typically enjoys mild daytime temperatures around 18–20 °C and cooler evenings. Bring layers to stay comfortable throughout the afternoon and evening. Hydration is important in the desert climate; water is available for purchase inside the stadium but not permitted in sealed bottles through security. When exploring the Strip, wear comfortable shoes and factor in distances between venues.

Las Vegas offers entertainment options to suit every taste. Between matches, you can stroll the Strip, dine at celebrity‑chef restaurants, catch a Cirque du Soleil show or visit the iconic Bellagio fountains. Excursions to the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam can be arranged before or after game day. Keith Prowse Travel can secure tickets to concerts, book spa appointments and organise golf or shopping excursions to complement your rugby league experience.
