The Parramatta Eels will launch their 80th anniversary season under the bright lights of Las Vegas, Nevada, with the blue and gold set to feature in the blockbuster triple-header at Allegiant Stadium.
The Eels were one of four NRL teams and two Super League teams unveiled for the 2027 opening weekend and will take on the Gold Coast Titans. Bradford Bulls will take on Leigh Leopards, and Melbourne Storm will take on the Wests Tigers to round out the event.
Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos said the Club was thrilled to be heading to Vegas and called on Eels fans to transform the famous neon city into a sea of blue and gold.
“There’s no better time for the Parramatta Eels to head to Las Vegas, and we’re ready to showcase our Club to the world,” said Sarantinos.
With more than 37,000 Members and thousands of passionate fans already expressing interest, we’re expecting a huge blue and gold contingent in Vegas.
