Four huge days of representative footy on the 9Network will culminate in the second game of the most electrifying series in recent memory when State of Origin II is broadcast Exclusively Live and Free on Channel 9HD and 9Now from Sunday, June 26, at 7.00pm AEST.

The New South Wales Blues are out to level the series at Optus Stadium in Perth after being out-muscled in Sydney by the Queensland Maroons in the opening game of the series.

Hosted by James Bracey, the Wide World of Sports commentary team for Origin II features a lineup of rugby league greats, with Andrew Johns, Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Phil Gould, Paul Vautin, Paul Gallen and Darren Lockyer all on hand to dissect every moment of the action, and Mat Thompson calling the game live, flanked by Johns and Smith.

In the heat of battle, Wide World of Sports will cross live during play to both Origin coaches, Billy Slater and Brad Fittler, for their view on the progress of their teams.

Danika Mason will deliver all the breaking news from the sideline alongside Gallen, and Allana Ferguson will join the panel in Perth.

9Now will stream the game live with the most comprehensive coverage, featuring four additional streams to choose from:
– Coaches Cam – A split-screen of NSW coach Brad Fittler and QLD coach Billy Slater
– Player Cam NSW – Nathan Cleary
– Player Cam QLD – Cameron Munster
– Spidercam – An eagle-eye view of play to take you even closer to the action

You can also catch up with all the best bits of Origin II in the 20-minute breakdown on 9Now mini-match.

Plus, in the pre-game coverage, viewers will go behind the scenes like never before, seeing how Karl Stefanovic joined the winning Maroons team and Ben Fordham followed the Blues in Sydney on game day in Origin I.

On Thursday night, the rep round extravaganza begins with the Women’s Under 19 State of Origin match from 5.30pm on 9GemHD, followed by the Men’s Under 19 State of Origin from 7.30pm on Channel 9HD, both at one of rugby league’s most famous grounds: Leichhardt Oval in Sydney.

Then the stand-alone spectacle of Women’s State of Origin 2022 shines on Friday night when NSW captain Kezie Apps aims her backline strike weapons Isabelle Kelly and Jessica Sergis at the reigning champion Queensland Maroons captained by Ali Brigginshaw.

On Saturday, all the power and passion of the finest rugby league talent in the Pacific Islands will be on display in four back-to-back test matches, including the return of the highly emotive New Zealand vs Tonga fixture.
