Rugby League World Cup 2026

Big fixtures, more than one venue, and a Sydney sporting month that is worth planning around.

Rugby League World Cup 2026 runs from 15 October to 15 November 2026, with Sydney hosting six matches across the tournament. With games at Allianz Stadium and CommBank Stadium, this is one of the city’s biggest sporting runs of the year.

Where to stay for Rugby League World Cup 2026 in Sydney

For guests heading to the Rugby League World Cup, Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park offers a practical base for more than one match. Some guests will be locking in one big fixture. Others will be following the tournament across multiple dates and venues. Either way, it helps to stay somewhere that keeps both the city and Western Sydney within reach without turning every match day into hard work.

Bistro Sydney is there before heading out, whether that means breakfast before a day game or dinner before an evening kick-off. For guests staying overnight, in-room dining keeps things simple back at the hotel, and the room mix works well for couples, friends or families building a few Sydney plans around the tournament.

Getting to Rugby League World Cup matches from Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park

Allianz Stadium: For guests heading to Moore Park, Macquarie Park Metro Station is around a two-minute walk from Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park. Public transport into the city generally takes around 30 minutes, then it is a simple connection through Central toward Allianz Stadium. If guests are taking a taxi or rideshare, the trip will usually take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic and what time they leave.

CommBank Stadium: For guests heading to Parramatta, public transport generally takes around 25 to 35 minutes depending on the connection, with easy links into the Parramatta precinct. If guests are taking a taxi or rideshare, the trip is usually around 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic.

A better way to do more than one match

A tournament like this rarely stays as one ticket and one night out. It turns into an opening game, another fixture a week later, dinner in between, and the kind of Sydney stay that starts to take shape around the draw. Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park works well for that, with on-site dining, comfortable accommodation and a location that gives guests a practical run to both Allianz Stadium and CommBank Stadium.
