The NRL draw for the 2026 season has landed, with 27 rounds of rugby league action now set in stone for next year.
The season kicks off in Las Vegas on Sunday, March 1 with a double header before the Storm and Eels lock horns in the first game on Australian soil.

All eyes will be on the Grand Final replay in Round 3, with the Storm hosting the Broncos at AAMI Park, while they will clash again in Round 26 at Suncorp Stadium.
Daly Cherry-Evans, meanwhile, won’t have to wait long to take on his old team with the Sea Eagles hosting the Roosters in Round 4. It’s set to be an explosive moment after Cherry-Evans’ decision to cut ties with the club in controversial circumstances,
Jonah Pezet was another high-profile player to move in the off-season. The rising playmaker will turn out for the Eels against his old club Melbourne Storm in the opening round of the season.
Pezet signed a one-year deal to join Parramatta before he links up with Michael Maguire and the Brisbane Broncos in 2027. They will get a first hand look at their big recruit when the Eels and Broncos clash in Round 2.
Reed Mahoney will have a point to prove in Round 9 when the Cowboys clash with the Bulldogs. Mahoney was effectively shown the door by Cameron Ciraldo before heading north to join Todd Payten’s side.

Magic Round falls in Round 11 in 2026. The Raiders are the unlucky ones to miss out with the bye while Wayne Bennett takes on old club the Dolphins and the Broncos battle the Warriors.
Lachlan Galvin will be aiming to put a tumultuous 2025 behind him after his bombshell switch from the Tigers to the Bulldogs.
The playmaker’s move dominated the headlines last season, noise that only intensified after the ladder-leading Bulldogs began to slide before being bundled out of the finals in straight sets.
Galvin will face former coach Benji Marshall and the Tigers in what shapes as a fiery clash
at CommBank Stadium in Round 13.
