2026 Draw Debrief: Magic Round fixtures revealed

The NRL has confirmed the schedule for the 2026 Magic Round in Brisbane, featuring eight thrilling matches. This exciting weekend of rugby league will kick off the day after the Women's Origin Game 2.

Suncorp Stadium will again serve as the venue for all eight NRL games, where Round 11 begins on Friday, May 15, with the Sharks facing the Bulldogs, followed by a match between the Dolphins and Rabbitohs.

Saturday promises a packed lineup, starting with Jarome Luai's Wests Tigers going head-to-head with Tom Trbojevic's Sea Eagles. Following that, the Roosters will clash with the Cowboys before culminating the day with a match between the Eels and the Storm.

On Sunday, the football excitement continues with a match featuring the Magic Round specialists, the Newcastle Knights, taking on the Titans. The Knights have an impressive record, winning four out of their five Magic Round games, including a significant 30-4 victory over the Rabbitohs in 2025.

The spotlight then shifts to the Broncos, the reigning champions and local favorites, who will compete against the Warriors, expected to attract substantial support in a packed stadium.

Finally, Sunday night concludes with the Panthers going up against the Dragons, who are still in search of their first win at the Magic Round after five attempts.
