How to watch State of Origin Game 1 on TV
Unlike the remainder of the NRL regular season, there will only be one way to watch the 2024 State of Origin series.
As has been the case in previous seasons, Channel 9 hold the exclusive rights to the interstate clash, with the network to broadcast Game 1 from 7pm (AEST) on their main channel.
For other states, check your electronic guides to confirm the start time.
The coverage of Origin will allow for a pre-game of a little over an hour before kick-off at 8:05pm (AEST).
Channel 9 can be found on Channel 90 in high definition, 91 in standard definition or 100 if watching through a Foxtel service.
