The Video Review Bunker will feature at the Rugby League World Cup for the first time, alongside other technology used in the NRL and NRLW.
The system, which has cost the NRL about $22 million, remains controversial; Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett has called for it to be axed.
"RLWC2026 will seamlessly integrate key technology used in the NRL and NRLW, including the Video Review Bunker, Captain's Challenge and Shot Clocks for scrums, goal line dropouts and goal kicks," a media release read.
The World Cup opens next Thursday with Australia playing New Zealand.
The International Rugby League Board has confirmed that the tournament will follow NRL rules and interpretations, after the pace of last year's Ashes series drew criticism.
Australia beat England 3-0 in the series, but fans complained that the game was slower than the domestic competition, particularly around the ruck.
Compared with the 2022 World Cup, changes include the NRL-aligned interpretations and the introduction of the Bunker.
Women's World Cup matches will also run for 70 minutes, under NRLW rules and interpretations.
The statement said, "The competition-specific rules for RLWC26 will ensure consistency and familiarity for fans, broadcasters and key tournament stakeholders,"
It also said most coaches and players are expected to come from the NRL and NRLW, making consistency with those competitions important.
