2020 State of Origin series


The 2020 State of Origin series will be the 39th annual best-of-three series between the Queensland and New South Wales rugby league teams. Before this series, Queensland has won 21 times, NSW 15 times, with two series drawn.
Originally, the series was to have been played in the traditional mid-season slot, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused the season to be suspended after round two, the series was moved to November, with the three matches to be played on consecutive Wednesday nights.
For just the third time, a game was to have been played away from Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, with Game 1 originally being scheduled at Adelaide’s Adelaide Oval, however there is doubt as to whether the match will be fixtured at the venue.
On 15 May, the NRL announced that the matches would be played on three consecutive Wednesdays after the season’s end, these being 4, 11 and 18 November.
