Fox League and Kayo Sports are gearing up for the NRL Magic Round, launching a new road trip campaign ahead of the 2026 festival at Suncorp Stadium.
The campaign, produced in-house by the Fox Sports creative team, features players from all 16 NRL clubs hitting the road to Brisbane.
The promo includes Latrell Mitchell, James Tedesco, Jerome Luai, Pat Carrigan, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, Kalyn Ponga, Harry Grant, Stephen Crichton, Hudson Young and more.
Fox League hosts Nathan Hindmarsh, Brian Fletcher, Lara Pitt and Gorden Tallis also make cameos, with music from ARIA Award-winning rockers Amyl and the Sniffers.
The campaign leans into the idea of the “ultimate footy road trip”, with Fox League taking its shows and matchday coverage to Brisbane as 16 teams converge on the city.
Every game of Magic Round will be available live on Fox League, available on Kayo Sports, with no ad-breaks during play.
