Summary at a Glance

Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL) last year hosted two season-opening fixtures in Sin City to showcase the tournament to American audiences, with the league announcing an audience of upwards of 40,000 at Allegiant Stadium.

The NRL is back in 2025 but there is a bigger, broader offering for fans with a Super League clash and international clash between Australia’s Jillaroos and England’s Lionesses also set to be held.

England’s women then take on the Jillaroos for the first time since 2017 in the opening Test of the Women Ashes, a series that will be concluded at as yet unconfirmed venues later this year.

Rugby league returns to Las Vegas for a second successive year as the sport continue to expand its horizons in the pursuit of global growth.

The sport returns to Sin City after two NRL fixtures were held in Nevada last year.
