The 2026 NRL season kicks off in Las Vegas with three games: Hull KR vs. Leeds Rhinos, Newcastle vs. Cowboys, and Bulldogs vs. Dragons.
The start times for next month's Las Vegas triple header are official, with the Knights and Cowboys given the honour of kicking off the 2026 NRL season.
Unlike last year, there are only three games on the Vegas slate, beginning with a Super League clash between last year's champions Hull KR and the Leeds Rhinos, coached by former Eels mentor Brad Arthur.
That game is set to begin at 11pm AEDT (4pm in Las Vegas).
Next up, Newcastle take on the North Queensland Cowboys, slated for 1:15pm AEDT which will then be followed by the Bulldogs and Dragons at 3:30pm AEDT and 8:30pm in Vegas.
