Here are the State of Origin Fixtures & Draw for 2024. The fixtures were announced in late 2023 alongside the NRL Draw.
The Queensland Maroons claimed a second consecutive Origin victory in 2023 – and first in straight sets since 2016 – winning Game 1 26-18 at the Adelaide Oval and then storming to a 32-6 victory in Game 2 at Suncorp Stadium. NSW salvaged some pride with a 24-10 victory in Game 3 at Accor Stadium.
Queensland’s Reuben Cotter was named the Player of the Series and awarded the Wally Lewis Medal, having also been named Man of the Match in Game 1.
The Maroons also claimed the women’s State of Origin series despite a 1-1 series tie with the Blues, having scored more points across the two games (32-28).

*Important note – while the State of Origin kick-off time is scheduled for 8:10pm (Sydney time) kick-off times, the actual start time is often later. The exact kick-off time, after the Australian national anthem is performed, and TV specials are completed, is usually closer to 8:15pm. Origins 1 and 2 in 2020, for example, both kicked off at 8:15pm, while the deicder started just one minute late at 8:11pm. This is a vast improvement on previous years where, despite kick-off being scheduled for 8pm, games would regularly start at around 8:20pm. Game 2 on Sunday night will likely start before 8pm.

2020 The 2020 Origin series was unique on a number of fronts. It was played after the NRL season for the first time, with all three games taking place on consecutive Wednesdays in November.
Game 1 was also the first time Adelaide Oval had hosted an Origin match, while the Maroons’ hosting of the women’s game and subsequent victory were also both firsts.
