Rugby League in Las Vegas (US) 2025 will be bigger, bolder and better, with more games, more teams, more nations, and more opportunities for the traveling supporters to take advantage of an once-in-a-lifetime festival of the global Rugby League.

‘NRL’ stated that celebrating a world first event, the National Rugby League (NRL), the Super League and the women’s international game will explode in a never-before-seen extravaganza of global sporting excellence featuring the very best rugby league players on the planet.

Sydney (Australia)-based the National Rugby League (NRL) is a professional rugby league competition in Australasia which contains clubs from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and New Zealand.

The Super League (legally known as the Super League Europe) is the top-level of the British rugby league system. At present, the league consists of 12 teams, of which 10 are from Northern England, reflecting the sport’s geographic heartland within the United Kingdom, one from London (UK) and one from Southern France.

‘NRL’ further stated that the historic four-game schedule will be played at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (US) on March 1^st, 2025 (local time) and will be broadcast live to a massive global audience across multiple markets and time zones.

The 65,000-capacity Allegiant Stadium is a domed multipurpose stadium located in Paradise, Nevada, Southwest of adjacent Las Vegas (US). Opened in 2020, it is the home field of the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL).

Bringing together eight teams from the Super League and the NRL, as well as the international women’s Test match, the event showcases rugby league’s global appeal, creating a unique spectacle for the American sports fans.

Averred Andrew Abdo, NRL head honcho, “Las Vegas 2025 will be a bigger, bolder and better festival of the rugby league. The 2025 Las Vegas event will feature two highly anticipated NRL Premiership matches to open the season, the 2024 UK Challenge Cup finalists, the Wigan Warriors and the Warrington Wolves (who compete in the Super League, the top tier of the British rugby league) and a Test match showcasing some of the most elite women’s players from both the hemispheres. We’ve given fans the opportunity to plan early and take advantage of the Las Vegas festival experience – a true bucket list item for all the rugby league and sports fans.”

Added Abdo, “Thank you to all the participating teams who will now get the chance to perform on a global stage with huge exposure. Thank you to all our partners, including the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Allegiant Stadium and our broadcast partners, who have worked closely with us to create this innovative and truly unique event.”
