Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is thrilled to be heading to Las Vegas this weekend to broadcast live from Round One of the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership Season at Allegiant Stadium.
SEN will broadcast the opening two games of the NRL season – Canberra Raiders v New Zealand Warriors, followed by 2024 Premiers, the Penrith Panthers, taking on the Cronulla Sharks – with SEN Stadium being available for fans in-stadium to listen to the commentary without delay.
This marks a significant milestone for SEN, with it being the first time SEN Stadium will be delivered outside of Australia.
To ensure the best experience for fans, SEN will deploy state-of-the-art hardware on site to deliver the lowest latency possible. The live calls – featuring the commentary team of Joel Caine and Tim Mannah - will be available through the SEN App, providing fans with an unparalleled listening experience.
