Robins and Rhinos set for Las Vegas in 2026!

Betfred Super League will stage a return visit to Las Vegas next February – and this time there will be a strong Yorkshire flavour. 

Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves broke new frontiers for British Rugby League when they played a Round 3 Betfred Super League fixture at the Allegiant Stadium in March – and in 2026, they will hand the baton to two more of the strongest clubs in British rugby, Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos. 

The Robins and the Rhinos have been selected to travel to Nevada following an application process led by Rugby League Commercial – and thousands of their fans are expected to seize the opportunity to watch their teams in Las Vegas, and to join what has become a unique celebration of Rugby League. 

Hull KR qualified for their third major final in as many years by beating Catalans Dragons at the weekend to secure their place in next month’s Betfred Challenge Cup Final at Wembley, while Leeds have won eight Super League titles at Old Trafford and have also won the World Club Challenge three times in the Super League era. 

The match will kick off a triple header on Saturday February 28 followed by the first two fixtures of the NRL’s 2026 Telstra Premiership season, involving Canterbury Bulldogs, Newcastle Knights, North Queensland Cowboys, and St George Illawarra Dragons – meaning 16 different clubs will have played in Vegas in the last three years. 

All three matches will be shown live by Sky Sports.

Demand for tickets is expected to be high after the stunning success of Super League’s 2025 Las Vegas debut, when a record attendance of 45,209 included well over 10,000 fans from the northern hemisphere with a wide range of clubs represented in addition to the majority from Wigan and Warrington.

Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos will be releasing details of their own club-specific packages – and tickets are expected to go on general sale early next month, with pre-registration opening soon. 

Rhodri Jones, the Managing Director of RL Commercial, said: “Congratulations to Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos for embracing the unique opportunity provided by taking a Betfred Super League fixture to Las Vegas in 2026 – and for submitting such strong bids to represent British Rugby League in Nevada next year. 

“It was a huge statement of intent by Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves to pursue the opportunity of making history in Vegas in 2025, and it is a credit to the impact they made that we have been able to work so closely with the NRL on ensuring a continued northern hemisphere presence. 

“Super League’s first Las Vegas fixture delivered a huge spike in profile and glamour for the whole competition, as reflected in the viewing figures on Sky Sports, and in the response from other sports and the wider sporting public. 

“It was vital that the two clubs to follow the trail blazed by the Warriors and the Wolves next year would be equally strong representatives of the Betfred Super League and the sport of Rugby League, and we are confident in the ability of Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos to achieve that.”
