SEN delivers extensive coverage for State of Origin Game 1

Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is once again going all-in for the 2026 State of Origin series, delivering fans an unmatched listening experience with three unique live calls of Game 1, all airing from 7pm this Wednesday, May 27 right across SEN*.

Game 1 will be broadcast live from Accor Stadium in Sydney, as the Queensland Maroons kick off their title defence in enemy territory.

Listeners can choose their call: Blues Radio with Brenton Speed, Brett Kimmorley and Tim Mannah, bringing a passionate New South Wales perspective; Maroons Radio featuring Mark Braybrook, Corey Parker and Moses Mbye, delivering Queensland pride and insight; or Origin LIVE, a neutral national call with Jimmy Smith, Chad Townsend and Justin Horo, offering big-game energy and expert analysis.

All three calls (Blues Radio, Maroons Radio and Origin LIVE) can also be heard on SEN Stadium – live and without delay in Accor Stadium – or via SEN Sync, where you can sync up SEN’s radio commentary with your TV.

In another win for rugby league fans, SEN has expanded its partnership with Fox League and Kayo, and is now streaming The Run Home with Joel & Fletch (with Joel Caine and Bryan Fletcher) three days per week. Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between 5pm and 6pm, you can catch the team LIVE on Fox League and Kayo, as well as on SEN** across NSW and QLD and the SEN app.

SEN’s Morning Glory with Matty Johns is also streaming on Fox League and Kayo from 11am each Friday morning.

With SEN’s popular Saturday League Kick Off with Chad Townsend and Denan Kemp on air live every Saturday from 10am to midday across SEN radio (SEN 1170am, SENQ 693am and SEN Gold Coast 1620am) and fully simulcast on Fox League and Kayo, this now makes three SEN programs now available visually via the partnership.

SEN Chief Executive, Craig Hutchison, said SEN’s Origin coverage continues to evolve to meet the expectations of modern sports fans.

“State of Origin is one of the biggest events in the Australian sporting calendar, and our goal is to deliver it in a way that gives fans more choice, more access and a deeper connection to the game,” Hutchison said.

“To offer three distinct live calls - alongside SEN Sync and our SEN Stadium experiences - is about putting the listener at the centre and giving them control over how they experience Origin.

“Our expanded partnership with Fox League and Kayo further strengthens that approach, allowing us to bring SEN’s talent and content to audiences across multiple platforms.

“We’re incredibly proud of the depth and quality of our coverage and the way it continues to evolve for fans right across the country.”

SEN will also be broadcasting Games 2 and 3 of Origin from Melbourne and Sydney respectively:

Game 2 – Wednesday 17 June, live from the MCG, Melbourne

Game 3 – Wednesday 8 July, live from Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
