Fox Sports will have almost a full crew on the ground to cover both games on a telecast which will go live into millions of American homes in prime time on the Fox Network.
The Matty Johns show and NRL 360 will also be broadcast from Vegas.
From The Daily Tele
While itâs great to see Fox make an effort for these games, itâs going to make their future decisions to call games from Gore Hill when they are only over the Spit Bridge or in the Shire a bit egregious.
This is something you donât see very oftenâŚ
With the trial game between Dolphins and Titans currently on at Sunshine Coast Stadium, the main broadcast cameras are on the eastern side of the ground, so yes, looking back into the sun.
There is a bit of lens flare in the wider shots closer to the trylines at both ends, but itâs OK in the middle of the field where the western grandstand provides some protection, and should get less noticeable as daylight fades.
Previously the telecast has been from the grandstand side at Sunshine Coast stadium, I wonder why itâs different today
Something is up with Mattyâs mic.
Game starts in 30 minutes and the stadium looks half empty. Surely not what they wanted?
PVL has been talking up the Fox Sports 1 broadcast as being the key - 40k (supposedly the pre-sale mark) isnât bad for a sport virtually unknown in the US (most people in the US think youâre talking about rugby union rather than league when you say rugby)
Even in the AFL states here some people donât know there is a difference.
Good to see that our broadcasters are covering this historic event properly with FOX having a full panel at the ground in Las Vegas. ABC Radio and Triple M seem to be doing similar.
Be interested to see what Channel 9 do later.
Thereâs damage from high winds near the ground which is making entry difficult.
I like Yvonne but Christ sheâs laying it on a bit thick today.
Canât get excited about this Vegas game. I doubt they are going to get the ongoing support they think they will.
How many Australians make up the crowd? I doubt there are any locals watching.
Another Vlandys brain fart.
Yeah I did just hear that. Iâm also wondering if more people will arrive for game 2. Iâm more interested in that game than game 1.
I think some might also only watch the first game too and leave before the 2nd game.
So there may not be 40,000 in the stadium at the same time.
for game 2, is the world feed going to be 9 or fox league?

Welp, sounds like itâs been switched to FS2 lol
Barring Origin and the GF, the world feed is Fox. Unlikely theyâd be a change here,
The crowd has built up in the lead-up to kick-off - there didnât seem to be anything on field to encourage people to take their seats early
