About Us

Welcome to RLWC 2026 Guide, an independent fan guide to the Rugby League World Cup 2026.

We cover the men’s, women’s and wheelchair tournaments, played across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

Our aim is simple: give fans clear, checked answers on fixtures, kick-off times, team lists, results and how to watch, all in one place.

Who Writes for RLWC 2026 Guide?

Our World Cup coverage is written by Alma Juarez, who covers the Rugby League World Cup for RLWC 2026 Guide.

Alma tracks official fixture releases, venue confirmations, team news and ticketing updates, with a focus on keeping schedules accurate.

You can read all of her articles on her author page, or reach our team at contact@rlwc2026guide.com.

Why We Started This Site

During a World Cup, the basics are often scattered. Fans jump between official sites, news pages and social posts to find one answer.

Questions like “what time is the game in my country?”, “who is playing tonight?” or “where can I watch it?” deserve a quick, clear reply.

We built RLWC 2026 Guide to answer those questions in plain English, with times shown for Australia, New Zealand, the UK and more.

What We Cover

Our guides follow the whole tournament, from the first match on 15 October to the finals on 15 November 2026.

Everything is written for both new fans and long-time followers of rugby league.

Where Our Information Comes From

We check facts against official and trusted sources, mainly NRL.com, the official tournament site rlwc2026.com and ABC Sport.

Team lists come from official team announcements, and rankings come from International Rugby League.

You can read exactly how we check and update content in our Editorial Policy.
