The NRL is set to make history with its ambitious Las Vegas venture in 2026. The league aims to draw a massive crowd of 50,000 fans to Allegiant Stadium, marking its largest US event to date. Four prominent teams—Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, St. George Illawarra Dragons, Newcastle Knights, and North Queensland Cowboys—have been confirmed to participate. The event will not only showcase the sport's growing popularity but also boost the local economy. To ensure strong fan attendance, the NRL is offering direct charter flights from major Australian cities, including Sydney, Newcastle, and Townsville. This initiative demonstrates the league's commitment to making the event accessible to its passionate fanbase. A spokesperson for the NRL commented, "We're thrilled to bring the excitement of NRL to Las Vegas. This is a major step in expanding the sport's global reach." The event promises to be a spectacular showcase of rugby league talent and a testament to the sport's growing international appeal.
