Welcome to NRL Magic Round, Perth Bears

2027 marks the debut season for the Perth Bears, the NRL's 18th club and the first new team to join the competition since the Dolphins. That means 2027 NRL Magic Round will feature all 18 clubs and nine matches for the first time, with no bye, so every fan base in the game has a reason to be in Brisbane.

For Bears supporters, it's a chance to be part of their club's first-ever NRL Magic Round. For everyone else, it's a chance to get a first look at the competition's newest side on the biggest regular season stage in Rugby League.

2027 Dates and Fixture

The 2027 NRL Magic Round dates and fixture are yet to be announced. They're expected to be confirmed when the NRL releases the 2027 draw, and we'll update this page as soon as they are.

In the meantime, here's how the 2026 weekend lined up to give you a feel for the action. In 2027, the schedule expands from eight matches to nine with the arrival of the Perth Bears.

Rivalries That Light Up the Weekend

NRL Magic Round is built for blockbusters. Packing every club into one stadium means you're never more than a couple of hours from your next big clash, and the draw always delivers matchups with real history behind them. Expect old grudges, finals rematches and local bragging rights, all in front of a stadium full of fans from every corner of the competition.

In 2026, the Saturday triple-header of Wests Tigers v Sea Eagles, Roosters v Cowboys and Eels v Storm set viewing records for every one of its timeslots, while Panthers v Dragons closed out the weekend under lights. Then there are the Magic Round specialists: the Knights went into 2026 having won four of their five NRL Magic Round matches, and Nathan Cleary holds the record for most points scored across NRL Magic Round history. Whatever the 2027 draw throws up, there'll be a game on every day worth travelling for.

The Warriors Wave

If there's one fan base that has taken over NRL Magic Round in recent years, it's the One New Zealand Warriors. In 2026, Kiwi supporters crossed the Tasman in huge numbers to turn Suncorp Stadium into a sea of Warriors colours, and the side responded with a 42-12 demolition of the Broncos in front of more than 50,000 fans. That clash became the most-watched Sunday 4pm regular season fixture in NRL history.

The momentum didn't stop there. The Warriors sold out every home game at Go Media Stadium in 2026, finished second on the ladder, and their fans bought more NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final tickets than any other club's supporters. With that kind of following, Warriors fans will want to be first in line when 2027 packages drop. Placing a deposit now is the best way to make sure you are.

Brisbane: Footy's Home for the Weekend

Suncorp Stadium is widely regarded as one of the best Rugby League venues in the world, and NRL Magic Round is when it's at its loudest. The fun starts well before kick-off on Caxton Street, right on the stadium's doorstep, where in 2026 the Fan Activation Zone turned the precinct into one big pre-game party, with bars, food and entertainment running all weekend. 2027 Events, activations and celebrations are yet to be announced.

Between games, there's plenty to explore. Brisbane in May means mild, sunny days, perfect for a footy holiday.
