The broadcast of Game 1 will begin at 7:30pm (AEST), before the action gets underway at around 8:00pm. Although scheduled to begin on the hour mark, the actual start-time for Game 1 is expected to fall closer to 8:15pm (AEST) due to the build-up fo the game.
With such high interest in the State of Origin series, Channel 9 has the broadcast rights tightly locked up, meaning there is no pay-TV simulcast options via Fox Sports or the Foxtel GO or Foxtel Play apps.
The only way to legally stream the game across your devices is via the NRL’s official Digital Pass app. This is a subscription based service that will set you back $2.99 per week, or $89.99 for the season. You can sign up for a one-week free trial however, which will enable you to watch this game alone.
Don’t forget if you go for the Digital Pass option and are outside a WiFi zone, you will be hit with mobile data charges.
Start: 8:00pm (AEST)
Venue: ANZ Stadium, Sydney
TV Broadcast: Channel 9 (LIVE)
Radio Broadcast: 2GB, Triple M, ABC Grandstand
Betting: NSW $2.15, Queensland $1.73

NVM. Reading way down in the FAQs of Digital Pass it states that NRL.com won't stream to an international destination. So, it's completely useless while you're travelling or if living abroad.

Any idea how to watch the game on the NRL.com site? Trying to watch from London. HAve subscribed as you have advised, but there is no option to start up a feed on any page and every link followed asks to log in again.
