Rugby League Las Vegas presented by JD Sports will kick off the 2026 NRL Telstra Premiership season on American soil and there’s just as much excitement off the field as on it for fans at Allegiant Stadium.
Now in its third edition, the event will once again bring the sport to one of the world’s most iconic entertainment cities with the Bulldogs will facing the Dragons before the Knights play the Cowboys and Super League giants Hull KR and Leeds square off.
Also taking centre stage next February will be LEAPX Dance Vegas, a spectacular creative project that will see up to 800 talented young dancers and cheerleaders from the UK, USA and Australia come together to train with LEAPX’s elite international teaching team, including leading NFL cheer choreographers and performers.
Over months of preparation, they will design, produce and deliver an original stadium-scale performance to thrill tens of thousands of fans inside Allegiant Stadium.
More than just a performance, LEAPX Dance Vegas is a transformational journey – building confidence, resilience, cultural understanding and teamwork, and showing young people what they are truly capable of.
It is a hugely impactful, once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stay with them forever.
“Our work aims to use the unique power of elite sport to make an indelible and powerful memory in the lives and experiences of young people from all communities and backgrounds,” said Lisa O’Reilly, Managing Director of LEAPX.
We are excited to welcome so many talented young people from around the world to the USA to experience an event that is truly historical. We cannot thank the NRL, the Rugby Football League and the clubs involved enough for supporting this unique program.
“Rugby League is a special sport that connects communities in a way like no other.”
