The England women’s team will also play a test match against Australia in the Nevada city on the same day, along with two NRL competition matches.

The games will be played March 1 at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders and site of the 2024 Super Bowl.

The concept is an extension of the NRL’s successful double-header in Las Vegas earlier this year.

The Super League match will be a regular season fixture and will replace a home game at Wigan.

Wigan chief executive Kris Radlinski, one of the main driving forces behind the initiative, said: “What a stage and what an opportunity for sport to showcase itself in the entertainment capital of the world.”

The two Australian meetings taking place will be Canberra Raiders v New Zealand Warriors and Penrith Panthers v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks.

“Having Betfred Super League when Rugby League returns to Las Vegas in 2025, as well as a historic international meeting for England Women, is an enticing prospect and a huge opportunity for the sport,” said Rhodri Jones, managing director of RL Commercial. .

“We look forward to working closely with Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, our commercial and broadcast partners and the NRL to ensure the weekend is another massive success.”
