Bradford and Leigh will become the fifth and sixth Super League teams to play in Las Vegas
- Published
Bradford Bulls and Leigh Leopards will head to Las Vegas in 2027 to stage the third Super League game in the US city.
The match will take place at Allegiant Stadium once again, the home of NFL franchise Las Vegas Raiders on 27 February, with this classed as a home game for the Bulls.
It will also coincide with a double-header to kick off the new season of Australia's NRL Telstra Premiership.
In the first Super League game held in Vegas in March last year, Wigan Warriors beat Warrington Wolves, while Leeds Rhinos thrashed Hull KR in the 2026 fixture in March.
Four-time Super League winners Bradford are in their first season back at this level since 2014, and Leigh have won the Challenge Cup and finished no lower than fifth since they won promotion in 2022.
"I am absolutely buzzing and privileged to be able to take 'little old Leigh' to represent Super League in Las Vegas," said Leopards owner Derek Beaumont.
"This presents the club and our town with a fantastic opportunity to raise its profile on a world stage and is invaluable to the partnerships that we have built over the years."
For Bulls director and co-owner Philip Sharp, taking part in the Las Vegas showcase is further proof of the club's return to the big stage after years in the wilderness.
"Bradford Bulls is a club built on rich history and identity and we have one of the most passionate supporter bases in the sport," he said.
"Taking the Bulls to Las Vegas would be about far more than just a single game - it's an opportunity to showcase our supporters, our city and our journey on a global stage, and that the Bulls are back."
