Indigenous Round

Join us for 2026 Indigenous Round across two weeks of the NRL & NRLW Telstra Premiership. Our Game. Our Story.

The story of Rugby League is a story of connection. For generations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players, families, communities and fans have helped shape the game we love. Their stories are woven into every era, every club and every community that Rugby League touches. This Indigenous Round, we celebrate those stories and invite the entire Rugby League community to come together. To honour the past, celebrate the present and help shape the future.
