Your Local Club to Host Official 2026 NRL Vegas Watch Party

On Sunday, 1 March (AEST) more than 200 registered clubs across the state will once again host the Official NRL Vegas Watch Party, thanks to a special partnership between Your Local Club and the NRL.

Following the success of the campaign last year, the state’s clubs will welcome members and guests to watch the NRL Premiership kick off, with three games of footy and plenty of fanfare to keep the crowds entertained.

In addition to the Official NRL Vegas Watch Party venues, four clubs — Canterbury League Club, St George Leagues Club, Wests Illawarra and Club Maitland City — will act as Official NRL Vegas Fan Hubs, offering up guest appearances from NRL legends, Vegas-themed food and beverage specials, live entertainment, competitions and more.

Patrons who attend an Official NRL Vegas Watch Party or Official NRL Vegas Fan Hub on the day will have the chance to win one of two double passes to NRL Vegas 2027, as well as jerseys and other exciting prizes.

ClubsNSW CEO Rebecca Riant says if you can’t make the trip to Las Vegas, the state’s registered clubs are offering the next best experience.

“We are so thrilled to again be partnering with the NRL to bring all the fun and excitement of the season launch into clubs right across the state. I encourage everyone to get down to their local participating Club and enjoy everything that the Official NRL Vegas Watch Party or Fan Hub has to offer,” says Ms Riant.

“As well as the amazing atmosphere, fans will also be able to enjoy American-style food, photo opportunities with legends of the game and fantastic prizes, including tickets to Vegas 2027.

“Whether you’re watching the event with your family or friends, your local Club is the perfect place to gather and celebrate the beginning of the footy season.”

Rugby league legend and NSW Blues Head Coach Laurie Daley is excited to be the Official NRL Vegas Watch Party Ambassador for Your Local Club.

“Vegas has created an enormous amount of hype around the launch of the NRL season and so the atmosphere at the Official NRL Vegas Watch Party at registered clubs is going to be electric — as we saw last year when clubs played host,” says Mr Daley.

“Outside of broadcast deals, clubs are the number one financial contributor to rugby league, and they also provide a social hub for fans of the game to come together, so I can’t think of a better host for the Official NRL Vegas Watch Party — get down to your local Club and soak up the season launch!”
