Magic Round is unlike anything else in rugby league. Across one extraordinary weekend, all 16 NRL teams take the field at Brisbane’s iconic Suncorp Stadium in a festival of footy that delivers intensity, atmosphere and entertainment from the very first kick-off. With two matches on Friday, three on Saturday and three on Sunday, plus the option to add Women’s State of Origin Game 1 on Thursday, 14 May, Brisbane becomes the beating heart of the NRL — a place where the colours, sounds and spirit of the game spill out into every pub, precinct and riverside bar.
But Brisbane’s charm extends well beyond the stadium. Early May brings warm days, mild nights and clear autumn skies, creating the perfect backdrop to explore the city. Wander the riverfront pathways, enjoy the dining and nightlife of Howard Smith Wharves or Fortitude Valley, relax at South Bank’s man-made beach or experience the cultural highlights of GOMA and the Queensland Museum. Between matches, the city offers the ideal balance of sunshine, food, music and celebration — all within easy reach of Suncorp Stadium.
At Events Travel, we’ve proudly partnered with the NRL as an Official Travel Agent since 2012, giving fans trusted access to one of the league’s most anticipated events. For 2026, our Magic Round packages include official Gold tickets, with the option to upgrade to Try Zone or Diamond for the best views in the stadium. We pair these with hand-picked 4-star and 5-star hotels, including spacious apartment-style stays ideal for longer weekends or groups. Fans travelling from Sydney can also take advantage of our flight-inclusive package, offering exceptional convenience and value.
Every package is flexible and can be tailored with extra nights, return flights, private transfers, sightseeing, travel insurance and more — all seamlessly arranged by our expert team. Whether you’re planning a quick escape or turning Magic Round into a full Queensland getaway, we’re here to craft a personalised, stress-free and unforgettable footy experience from start to finish.
We look forward to welcoming you to NRL Magic Round 2026, where rugby league, sunshine and celebration come together for one of the most exciting weekends of the season. It’s a weekend that never fails to deliver — and we can’t wait to share it with you.

With all 16 NRL teams converging on Suncorp Stadium across one epic weekend, the city becomes rugby league heartland, alive with energy, passion and celebration.
Early May is one of the best times to visit Brisbane, offering ideal weather for fans: warm, comfortable days, mild evenings and clear blue skies. Between matches, explore Brisbane’s riverfront precincts, unwind at rooftop bars, stroll the riverside pathways or relax at South Bank’s iconic man-made beach. Culture lovers can visit the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) or the Queensland Museum, while food enthusiasts can enjoy everything from riverside dining at Howard Smith Wharves to hidden laneway restaurants and elevated hotel bars.
With its laid-back vibe, walkable city centre and unmatched stadium atmosphere, Brisbane is more than just a backdrop — it’s an essential part of the Magic Round experience. May delivers some of the city’s most pleasant weather of the year, with warm days of around 22–25°C, mild evenings of 14–16°C and low humidity, making it perfect for exploring the city and enjoying every moment at Suncorp Stadium.

Events Travel delivered everything we wanted as promised – great seats and excellent accommodations at a fair price. No surprises, no hassles. We’re already on the waitlist for next year.
For my wife’s birthday
The whole thing went really smoothly – from the planning to the execution. The accommodation and tickets were excellent. I could not have imagined anything better👍
The booking was easy
The booking was easy, professional and a great team to deal with. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner and friendly staff. Second time we have booked with them and we are happy with their service. Thank you.
Very convenient. Book everything together.
Booking through Events travel gave us the opportunity to purchase Australian Open tennis tickets prior to the general ticket sales. They gave us an extensive list of hotels to choose from. We booked tickets at Rod Laver arena which we were very happy with. We hope to use Events Travel again.
