The Queensland Maroons go head-to-head with the NSW Blues in Game 1 of State of Origin at the Adelaide Oval. If you are looking to watch the match from overseas, here is all the information you need to catch the action live.
For the first time ever, the State of Origin series will be held after the regular NRL season with its first instalment taking place on neutral territory tonight in Adelaide.
History favours the Blues coming into Game 1 as they have been quite dominant over the past couple of years and will try to continue that dominance tonight.
They have an extremely strong side with the likes of Dally M medallist Jack Wighton and star fullback James Tedesco among the names on the teamsheet.
On the other hand, the Queensland Maroons are quite a young side, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will struggle against NSW.
The new-look squad, led by Daly Cherry-Evans, will be looking to pick up the neutral-ground win and start the series off strong.
First step for watching Origin from overseas is making sure you know what time it starts in your location. With a 7:40pm local (ACDT)/8:10pm (AEDT) kick-off time scheduled, here’s what that translates to in some major international cities:
