Why is rugby league taking place in Vegas?
The Las Vegas round is a concept that started in 2024 when the NRL took two of its season-opening games to Las Vegas.
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles took on South Sydney Rabbitohs and Sydney Roosters faced Brisbane Broncos, with the Roosters and Sea Eagles coming away with wins.
In a historic event, it was the first time rugby league had hit American shores for a season opener and then it only got bigger and better in 2025 as Super League joined the party with Wigan Warriors demolishing Warrington Wolves, plus England Women taking on the Jillaroos.
Now, Super League is sending two new teams to get in on the action...
Which teams are playing in Las Vegas 2026?
This time, reigning champions Hull KR will take on Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas. The Robins won it all in 2025 and will want to add a Vegas win onto their history-making list.
Meanwhile, Leeds are one of Super League's historically giant clubs and under Brad Arthur their fans have been given hope that silverware is on its way once again. How they would love to get their season going with a win over the defending champs in Sin City.
The Super League clash is alongside two NRL contests with Newcastle Knights vs North Queensland Cowboys and Canterbury Bulldogs vs St George-Illawarra Dragons.
An intriguing fact for any St Helens fans out there - the first NRL contest between the Knights and the Cowboys will actually see two of their former head coaches go head to head.
Justin Holbrook is the head coach of the Knights, while Paul Wellens is an assistant coach at the Cowboys.
Where is the 2025 Vegas round being held?
The matches will be staged at the 65,000-capacity Allegiant Stadium, one of the most high-tech stadia in the world which is located just west of the Strip.
The Allegiant Stadium has been home to a number of iconic events, including Kansas City Chiefs' dramatic overtime Super Bowl victory against the San Francisco 49ers in 2024. This means it has seen Usher perform a half-time show and it has seen Taylor Swift on the field celebrating with Travis Kelce following his win.
Talking of Swift, the Allegiant was also a stop on her epic Eras Tour, which broke a multitude of records and went on for over two years.
In 2026, it will also host WrestleMania, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and much more!
Throughout the year, it is also the home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
