The NRL has revealed the six teams set to travel to Las Vegas to inaugurate the 2027 season.
The Parramatta Eels will go up against the Gold Coast Titans, while the Melbourne Storm will take on the Wests Tigers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Additionally, English Super League clubs Bradford Bulls and Leigh Leopards will join the exciting lineup in this 2027 event.
The matches are scheduled for Saturday, February 27 (which falls on Sunday, February 28 in Australia).
"Las Vegas has become the much-anticipated NRL Premiership season launch," said NRL CEO Andrew Abdo in a formal statement.
"It's a true bucket list experience - where the best sport in the world, Rugby League, meets the world's entertainment capital."
Abdo continued, "In 2027, the event will be even bigger with an expanded week of experiences. We'll welcome teams from three Australian states alongside two Super League clubs, bringing together passionate supporter bases from both hemispheres in one spectacular setting."
"We've worked closely with the partners to ensure fans can access affordable and direct travel packages with family and friends. Wests Tigers, Titans, Eels and Storm themed charter flights offer a direct journey to Las Vegas."
He added, "What makes Vegas such a good adventure is that it's more than three games; it's a full fan experience for all ages. From player appearances and fan events to business conferences and music performances, not to mention everything else the city has to offer, it's an unforgettable week of sport and entertainment."
