State of Origin 2026
17 June & 8 July 2026 | Biggles Bar & Grill
Big moments, cold drinks and the full menu
The 2026 Ampol State of Origin series runs across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with Game 2 at the MCG on Wednesday 17 June and Game 3 at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday 8 July. If you are not heading to the stadium, Biggles Bar & Grill at Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport is a good place to catch every moment live, with the game on screen, food and drinks flowing, and the kind of atmosphere Origin usually brings with it.
Watch State of Origin live at Biggles Bar & Grill
State of Origin does not really work as background viewing. It takes over the room, pulls people into arguments before kick-off, and gives everyone a reason to stay longer than planned. Biggles Bar & Grill suits that kind of night well. Located inside Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport, it is open daily from 12pm to 10pm and welcomes both hotel guests and locals, with flexible spaces for group dining and celebrations.
Whether you are already staying at the hotel, stopping in from the local area, or looking for somewhere to settle in with friends and watch the game properly, Biggles gives you the match-day atmosphere without having to fight through a stadium crowd.
What to expect on the night
Biggles Bar & Grill will be screening the remaining State of Origin games live, with the regular dining menu available throughout the evening. It is an easy option for guests wanting dinner with the game, or locals looking for somewhere to watch the action with a bit more energy than the average pub corner screen. Biggles also serves tap beers, wines, cocktails and casual all-day dining, so the night can be as simple or as social as you want it to be.
Plus, Tooheys schooners available for $8 during the game.
Make a night of it at Sydney Airport
For hotel guests, Biggles keeps the whole evening under one roof. For locals, it is an easy place to settle in, watch the game live and avoid overcomplicating the plan. Either way, State of Origin is better when the screen is big, the room is into it, and no one is checking the score on mute.
