Super League in Las Vegas 2027: Bradford Bulls and Leigh Leopards confirmed as two clubs in 'Sin City' alongside NRL contests

Bradford Bulls and Leigh Leopards will be the two Super League clubs to face off in Las Vegas in 2027 when rugby league once again descends on 'Sin City'.

The duo will play the contest in the USA on Saturday February 27, 2027, with four NRL clubs also involved once again in a huge day of rugby league action at Allegiant Stadium.

The 2027 fixture will be the third year in succession Super League clubs have staged a match in Vegas. The NRL has also confirmed Parramatta Eels will face Gold Coast Titans, while Melbourne Storm will clash with Wests Tigers.

Back in March, Leeds Rhinos' Maika Sivo .

The Las Vegas round is a concept that started in 2024 when the NRL took two of its season-opening games to Las Vegas and saw the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles take on South Sydney Rabbitohs and Sydney Roosters face Brisbane Broncos, the Roosters and Sea Eagles coming away with wins.

Then in 2025, Super League joined the party as Wigan Warriors dominated Warrington Wolves in front of a 45,000 strong crowd. That game took place alongside an international between Australia Jillaroos and England Women, plus Canberra Raiders vs New Zealand Warriors and reigning champions Penrith Panthers against Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks.

Bradford's inclusion marks a real turnaround for the resurgent Bulls who only made their long-awaited return to Super League this season after an 11-year absence.

They have agreed to take their home game on the road to Vegas and Bulls director and co-owner Philip Sharp said: "We as a board and club believe the Super League event in Las Vegas highlights a huge global opportunity to showcase rugby league - and Bradford Bulls should be part of that conversation for Vegas 2027.

"Bradford Bulls is a club built on rich history and identity and we have one of the most passionate supporter bases in the sport. Taking the Bulls to Las Vegas would be about far more than just a single game; it's an opportunity to showcase our supporters, our city and our journey on a global stage, and that the Bulls are back!

"The board remain ambitious about the future of the club, and opportunities like Vegas align with our vision of rebuilding the Bulls into a major force within the game once again."

Leigh owner Derek Beaumont said: "I am absolutely buzzing and privileged to be able to take 'little old Leigh' to represent Super League in Las Vegas.

"I can't wait to create some exciting experiences for our Leoparded-up fans as we look to build on the excellent work done by the clubs that have been there before us.

"This presents the club and our town with a fantastic opportunity to raise its profile on a world stage and is invaluable to the partnerships that we have built over the years.

"Never has there been a more important time to showcase Super League alongside the NRL, given the shared commitment to align on many future opportunities currently being discussed, and I thank the NRL for continuing that opportunity and relationship."

One of Leigh's big stars, Lachlan Lam, has never been to Las Vegas and is keenly looking forward to the trip.

"I'm very excited. It's a special occasion, a special place, and something that this group will be really looking forward to when it comes out," he told Your Site News.

"It means a lot. I've been involved in some special moments, the rebranding, the Β£1m game, the Challenge Cup, our first home final last year. To add this on to it, in the short time we've been back up in Super League, is really exciting."

The matches will once again be staged at the 65,000-capacity Allegiant Stadium, one of the most high-tech stadia in the world which is located just west of the Strip.

The Allegiant Stadium has been home to a number of iconic events, including Kansas City Chiefs' dramatic overtime Super Bowl victory against the San Francisco 49ers in 2024.

Throughout the year, it is also the home of the Las Vegas Raiders and is where more than 40,000 attended the NRL's first Vegas promotion back in 2024.

Your Site will again show every game of the Super League live this season - including two matches in each round exclusively live, with the remaining five matches each week shown on
