NRL Magic Round 2026 Dates – What Fans Can Expect
The countdown is already on for the NRL Magic Round 2026, one of the most anticipated weekends on the rugby league calendar. Every season, supporters flock to Brisbane for three days of back-to-back footy action where all 16 clubs play at Suncorp Stadium. Fans are now turning their attention to the Magic Round 2026 dates, eager to lock in their travel, accommodation, and event plans.
Based on previous years, Magic Round is typically scheduled in May, with the NRL carefully positioning it around major events such as Anzac Day and the Easter long weekend.

As soon as the NRL releases the confirmed schedule, fans will be quick to book flights and tickets, knowing the event sells out fast every year.
