TIO Stadium NRL 2026 Tickets

About

Did you know that TIO Stadium, also known as Marrara Oval, is the premier sporting venue in Darwin, Northern Territory, and is host to some of the country’s major sporting events, including AFL, cricket, and rugby league. 

While its 12,500 seating capacity pales in comparison to some of the bigger stadiums of the east coast, what it lacks in size it makes up for tenfold in true spirit, grit and determination. Featuring a grandstand, high-quality lighting for night games, and recently upgraded facilities, TIO Stadium is an incredible way for fans to catch NRL action closer than ever before. 

The stadium has a growing rugby league history, having hosted key NRL matches over the years. In 2012, the Sydney Roosters took on the North Queensland Cowboys, marking the return of professional rugby league to Darwin in front of 10,008 fans. The following year, Penrith Panthers faced the Gold Coast Titans, attracting another strong crowd. Now, TIO Stadium continues to bring top-level NRL games to the Northern Territory, providing local fans the opportunity to watch elite rugby league live.
