The 2026 State of Origin series kicks off with Game 1 on Wednesday, May 27, at Accor Stadium in Sydney, with kick-off scheduled for 8:05 PM AEST. As is tradition, the match will feature the NSW Blues taking on the Queensland Maroons. While the final squads haven't been picked yet, the official team lists for both sides are set to be announced on Monday, May 18. However, here I give my personal opinion and prediction on who will potentially make their debut for their State. The Players here have been carefully chosen arbitro by me due their impressive performances so far in the 2026 NRL Season.
