One of the most anticipated weekends in the rugby league calendar is fast approaching, with all eyes on Brisbane for the NRL’s Magic Round and Game I of the Women’s State of Origin series. This four-day extravaganza will see every match held at Lang Park, promising an action-packed footy bonanza for fans.
The NRL Magic Round, a concept introduced in 2019, sees all NRL matches for a round played in one location over a weekend. Inspired by the Super League’s Magic Weekend in the UK, this initiative has been well-received by fans, with over 134,000 attendees in its inaugural year. Despite a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic, Magic Round returned in 2021 with record attendance figures.
Lang Park has been the home of Magic Round since its inception, and the NRL has secured Brisbane as the host city for this event until 2027. Notably, the 2024 Magic Round marked the debut of the Women’s State of Origin series as part of the festivities, adding an extra layer of excitement to the weekend.
Last year’s Women’s State of Origin Game I, held at Lang Park, saw New South Wales emerge victorious over Queensland in front of a record crowd. The series opener set the stage for a thrilling competition, with Queensland eventually clinching the series with a 2-1 victory, showcasing the same fighting spirit as their male counterparts.
This year’s Magic Round weekend, scheduled from May 1 to May 4, will kick off with Game I of the Women’s State of Origin series. The NRL fixtures will follow over the weekend, featuring matchups between top teams in the league.
For fans eager to catch the action, the NRL Magic Round and Women’s State of Origin Game I will be broadcast on various platforms. Free-to-air channels, pay television, and streaming services will provide coverage of the games, ensuring that fans can watch their favorite teams in action.
Game I of the 2025 Women’s State of Origin series will take place on Thursday, May 1, with Queensland and New South Wales battling it out for early supremacy. The matchup promises to be a thrilling start to the series, setting the tone for what is expected to be a closely contested competition.
With star players from both teams ready to showcase their skills, including the likes of Tamika Upton and Abbi Church for Queensland, and Jessica Sergis and Isabelle Kelly for New South Wales, fans can expect high-quality rugby league action in Game I of the Women’s State of Origin series.
