Who are the Brisbane Broncos?
The Broncos are Brisbane’s team in the National Rugby League, the top tier of rugby league in Australia and New Zealand. Based at Red Hill and playing at Suncorp Stadium, they are the club Queenslanders grow up supporting — maroon and gold, Friday nights under lights, and crowds that regularly top 40,000.
Their most recent premiership came in October 2025, when the Broncos beat the Melbourne Storm 26–22 in the Grand Final at Accor Stadium — the club’s first title in 19 years, and its seventh overall.
Club history and premierships
The Broncos entered the NSWRL’s Winfield Cup in 1988 as Brisbane’s first team in the Sydney-based competition, winning their first six games. It didn’t take long for the trophies to follow.
The club’s seven premierships came in 1992, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2006 and 2025. The 1997 title was won in the one-off Super League season; the 1998 one was the first of the reunified NRL era, making the Broncos the inaugural NRL premiers. The 2025 win ended the longest drought in club history, in front of more than 80,000 fans at the decider.
Coaches matter at this club. Wayne Bennett built the early dynasty, Kevin Walters took the side to the 2023 decider, and Michael Maguire — who took charge at the end of 2024 — won the premiership in his first season. The team is run off the field by CEO Dave Donaghy.
Suncorp Stadium: the Broncos’ home
The Broncos play at Suncorp Stadium on Castlemaine Street in Milton, a few minutes from the Brisbane CBD. With a capacity of 52,500, it’s the spiritual home of rugby league in Queensland — the Broncos averaged more than 41,000 fans per home game in their 2025 premiership season.
Each NRL season the Broncos play 12 home games at the ground, and the atmosphere on a Friday night is the reason plenty of people rank it among the best live-sport experiences in the country.
The players who matter
The 2025 premiership was built around fullback Reece Walsh, whose Grand Final performance won him the Clive Churchill Medal. Around him sit some of the best names in the game: prop Payne Haas, lock Patrick Carrigan, five-eighth Ezra Mam, hooker Ben Hunt, centre Kotoni Staggs and Gehamat Shibasaki — the club’s top try-scorer in 2025 with 18 tries. Adam Reynolds captained the side to the title.

How to buy Broncos tickets
Match tickets are sold through Ticketek, linked from the club’s official site. A few things worth knowing:
- Tickets are delivered through the Ticketek app only — there are no printed tickets. Download the app, log in with the same account you bought with, and your barcode appears a few days before the game.
- Club members get priority access to tickets before the general public, and for big games the members’ allocation goes fast.
- General admission prices move with the fixture and seating category. When the 2026 home games went on sale, general admission started from $27 — treat that as a rough guide and check Ticketek for the current game.
Only buy through Ticketek or the club’s own links. Tickets from unofficial resellers are the classic way to end up with an invalid barcode at the gate.
Broncos memberships
If you go to more than a couple of games a year, a membership is usually the cheapest way in. The full-season option reserves you a seat at all 12 home games, and members get priority access to home-game tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Memberships go on sale well before the season starts, usually late in the previous year, through the club’s official site.
Where to watch the Broncos
You don’t need to be at Suncorp to watch them. In Queensland, Nine shows selected NRL games free on Channel 9 each round, and those games stream free on 9Now. Every game of every round — including all Broncos matches — is also live on Fox League through Foxtel and on Kayo Sports. If the game isn’t one of Nine’s free picks, you’ll need one of the paid options.
Replays are free on 9Now for Nine-broadcast games, while Kayo carries full replays of every game.
Getting to Suncorp Stadium
The stadium sits at 40 Castlemaine Street, Milton, right next to Milton train station — public transport is the easiest way in, with trains and buses running from across Brisbane on game days. Parking around the ground is limited, so driving is the hard option. Gates usually open well before kick-off, and for night games it’s worth arriving early: the pre-game build-up is half the fun.
The Broncos women’s team
The Broncos also field a side in the NRLW, the women’s competition. In 2026 they played five home games in Brisbane — two at Suncorp Stadium and three at Totally Workwear Stadium. The women’s games are part of the same NRL broadcast mix, so you’ll find them on the same channels as the men’s matches.
