SEN gearing up for comprehensive coverage of NRL’s Magic Round
Sports Entertainment Network • April 30th, 2025 1:24 pm
Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is thrilled to confirm its extensive coverage of the NRL's Magic Round, ensuring fans across Australia can experience the excitement of this unique event.
In 2025, Magic Round - a highlight of the NRL calendar since its inception in 2019 - will again take place at the home of rugby league in Queensland – Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium - from May 1 to 4, encompassing all matches of Round 9 of the NRL, plus the opening game of this year’s Women’s State of Origin series.
Magic Round 2025 promises to be an unforgettable festival of rugby league, featuring 16 of the 17 NRL teams competing in a single venue over one action-packed weekend.
SEN’s coverage of the event kicks off on Thursday, May 1, with Women's State of Origin Game 1, followed by live calls of five NRL matches from Friday to Sunday - including a Broncos Radio biased call – on top of a host of other NRL programming, headlined by the new SEN / Fox Sports simulcast of ‘Saturday League Kick Off’ with Scott Sattler and Andrew Webster. Available to be broadcast both on radio and television, the show is live every Saturday of the NRL season from 10am.
As usual, SEN’s Magic Round programming will feature a host of names synonymous with rugby league, including Scott Sattler, Corey Parker, Andrew McCullough, Tim Mannah, Jarrod Wallace, Gary Freeman and Andrew Webster, plus Michelle Bishop, Ben Davis, Mark Braybrook, Jo Barrett and Drury Forbes.
As a part of SEN’s commitment to making Magic Round as accessible as possible for fans - particularly those who can't be there in person – SEN's coverage can be broadcast via Brisbane’s SENQ 693am and Sydney’s SEN 1170am, as well as a host of other SEN frequencies (outlined below).
All SEN-broadcast matches will also be available on SEN Sync and SEN Stadium – two products unique to SEN – to enhance listeners’ experiences both at home and in-venue.
SEN CEO, Craig Hutchison, expressed his excitement for the upcoming festival of rugby league.
"We are incredibly proud of the line-up of talent and programming we have put together to cover the 2025 NRL season, and in particular, this weekend’s Magic Round. At SEN, we aim to continuously innovate and provide the best possible experience for our listeners, maintaining our commitment to delivering high-quality products covering the NRL across the board."
