Latest News About State Of Origin 2

Here’s a quick update on the latest State of Origin 2 news.

• State of Origin Game 2 in 2026 is shaping up with return fixtures and venue details often announced well in advance by the NRL and major broadcasters. If you’re aiming for the latest official confirmations (teams, venue, and kick-off), check the NRL’s Ampol State of Origin page or the event page for the specific year, as these are updated close to game day.

• For quick background on recent preparations and squad announcements, major Australian sports news outlets and broadcaster partners typically publish “teams locked in” and “all you need to know” pieces a day or two before the match. These sources include NRL.com and 7News/SUNRISE coverage.

• The state-of-origin schedule often includes Origin II at a primary stadium (per prior years: Perth or Brisbane depending on rotation) with the date and local kick-off times published by the league. If you want the exact date, venue, and kick-off time for 2026, I can pull the latest official schedule and format it for you.
