The Wests Tigers have been confirmed as one of the four NRL teams to participate in Rugby League Las Vegas 2027.
The Wests Tigers will face the Melbourne Storm on Saturday, 27 February (local) / Sunday, 28 February (AEDT), joining the Parramatta Eels and Gold Coast Titans as well as the Super League’s Bradford Bulls and Leigh Leopards in the annual rugby league extravaganza.
Wests Tigers Interim CEO, Shaun Mielekamp said confirmation of the Club’s participation in Las Vegas was a great result for Members and fans.
“We’re really excited to be heading to Vegas in 2027 and taking our Members and fans around the world. They have been in lockstep with us throughout our rise over the past two years and it’s a wonderful reward for them,” Mielekamp said.
“Applying to head to Vegas next season was a considered decision that closely aligns with the direction we’ve been taking the Club. We’ve made significant progress both on and off the field and it proved the perfect time for us to take part in 2027.
We’ve done our due diligence – from both a high performance and fan experience perspective – and are excited about the opportunity to start our 2027 campaign on a global stage.
Shaun Mielekamp Interim CEO
"An opportunity like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of our Board and the Holman Barnes Group, they are right behind this initiative and have been giving us all the support we need to make it possible.”
Mielekamp added that the Club has a number of plans already underway for Rugby League Las Vegas 2027 that will be announced in due course.
“We’re focused on making this a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who join us in Las Vegas – everything from travel to events and hospitality.”
