Where to Watch NRL Games in Christchurch

Last updated September 11, 2026

The NRL finals run through September and finish with the Grand Final at Accor Stadium on the first Sunday in October, with State of Origin owning three Wednesday nights of the winter before that. The crowd is a club crowd outside Origin week, so the pub that matters is the one that puts the right side on with the sound up, and in Auckland that side is the Warriors. These 6 venues in Christchurch carry a real signal that they show the NRL.
