HULL KR will take on Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas on Saturday 28 February, 2026.
The historic fixture will take place at the state-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, marking the club’s first-ever competitive match in the United States.
As part of the NRL’s international expansion, the event offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Hull KR to showcase the club on the global stage, with the match to be broadcast to millions across the USA, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
The 2025 Las Vegas event reached a staggering 3.1 billion online impressions and the equivalent of 200 years’ worth of brand marketing value in just one weekend.
The Robins will forfeit a home game to be part of the Las Vegas event, but the club will reverse the proposed membership price increase from 2023 that was planned for the 2026 season.
Additionally, the club are working on plans to bring fans together in Hull so they can enjoy the occasion collectively and be part of this unique experience, even from afar.
Speaking on the announcement, Hull KR Chief Executive Paul Lakin said: “This is undoubtably the biggest Betfred Super League event ever in terms of profile and global attention. To have Hull KR at the heart of it is an incredible opportunity we’re determined to maximise.
“Sport is about creating memories and moments that last a lifetime – for our players and our supporters. This is one of those moments. To play in Las Vegas, in front of a worldwide audience and on one of sport’s biggest stages, is something the players, staff and fans will never forget.
“We’ve worked hard over the last few years to build something special, and this is another step forward on that journey. In particular, we were keen to be the designated home team so we can ‘Hull KR’ the experience as much as possible and take our unique matchday experience and atmosphere on the road with us.’
“I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to our Board of Directors for their vision, commitment, and financial underwriting to make this historic fixture a reality. The opportunity to showcase Hull KR on the world stage in Las Vegas is a monumental step forward for the club, and one that wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and ambition of our Board. We’re proud to be flying the flag for Super League and for the East Yorkshire region in such a landmark event.”
Hull KR Head Coach, Willie Peters added: “I think it’s a great indication of where the club is at and how far we’ve come, on and off the field, by being one of the team’s selected to represent the English game in Las Vegas.
“It’s a great opportunity for everyone involved at the club and it will be great to get the Hull KR brand out there. More importantly, we’re representing a wider audience in Super League and the game over here. We’re looking forward to representing it in the right way come 2026.”
Leeds Rhinos Commercial Director Rob Oates commented: “We are delighted to get the call to head to Vegas in 2026. Everyone here in Super League was blown away by the impact that Wigan and Warrington made earlier in the year and the challenge now is to make it even bigger and better in ’26.
“We are working closely with Hull KR, who are great partners for this event, and RL Commercial and this is a massive opportunity not just for the Rhinos but Super League to show the world just how passionate our loyal supporters are.
“The scenes earlier in the year from Vegas whether on Fremont Street or the vivid blocks of UK fans in their club colours at Allegiant Stadium were incredible and sets the benchmark for ourselves and the Robins.
“We hope that over 10,000 fans will be travelling across from England, which will make this a real ‘I was there’ moment. What went on in Vegas has definitely not stayed in Vegas in this case and everyone wants to be part of it.”
