Here are the State of Origin Fixtures & Draw for 2024. The fixtures were announced in late 2023 alongside the NRL Draw.

NSW reclaimed the Origin shield with a famous comeback series win, having lost Game 1 38-10 at Stadium Australia courtesy of a shock early sin-binning for Joseph Suaalii after knocking out Reece Walsh.

The Blues recovered in Game 2, with a recalled Mitchell Moses lifting them to a 38-18 win at the MCG off the back of an Origin record 34-0 first half, to set up a series decider at Suncorp Stadium.

They then kept the Maroons tryless on home soil, with a pair of late tries from Bradman Best and Jarome Luai securing a dramatic series win for Michael Maguire in his first run as NSW coach.

Blues Enforcer Angus Crichton won the Wally Lewis Medal for player of the series.

Meanwhile, the Women’s Origin was claimed by Queensland after the Maroons recovered from a 22-12 loss at Suncorp Stadium in Game 1 to force a decider with a thrilling 11-10 win in Newcastle, then took out Game 3 22-6 in Townsville.

*Important note – while the State of Origin kick-off time is scheduled for 8:05pm (Sydney time) kick-off times, the actual start time is often later. The exact kick-off time, after the Australian national anthem is performed, and TV specials are completed, is usually closer to 8:15pm. This is a vast improvement to years where, despite kick-off being scheduled for 8pm, games would regularly start at around 8:20pm.
