The legendary rivalry between Queensland and New South Wales is back for 2022. With Game 3 in the 2022 State of Origin coming up, here’s everything you need to know.
When does the 2022 State of Origin kick-off?
While all three games of the 2021 State of Origin took place in QLD due to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, things are spread out across the country this year.
Here are the match details for the 2022 State of Origin:
Game I: Wednesday, June 8 at Accor Stadium, Sydney NSW
Game II: Sunday, June 26 at Optus Stadium, Perth WA
Game III: Wednesday, July 13 at 8:10 pm AEST, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane QLD

With borders back open again fans from all around Australia can attend State of Origin games in person again.

Who are the reigning winners?

In the two 2022 State of Origin games so far we had QLD winning game 1 with 16-10 and NSW taking home game 2 with 44-12.
That means Game 3 will once again be a decider with either team having a chance at taking home the trophy.
If you’re wondering who the reigning champions from last year are, the NSW Blues took home the shield in 2021. The Blues won two of the three games with QLD stepping up in Game III to prevent a clean sweep.
Overall, QLD is in the lead with 22 wins compared to NSW’s 16. There have been two draws.

State of Origin is huge for food promos. This year you can indulge in blue and maroon Krispy Kremes, as well as Pizza Hut slices drizzled in team-inspired coloured sauces (yeah, there’s blue sauce).
And if you’d like to cook some sports-appropriate snacks at home, may we suggest these air fried sausage rolls?
