As the build-up for the 2023 NRL campaign heats up, so does the anticipation around State of Origin.
The annual series returns to its traditional Wednesday timeslot for every match this year, with the Maroons and Blues set to do battle.
Queensland emerged victorious in 2022, so we can expect New South Wales to fight hard as they attempt to regain the shield this time around.
Here's how fans can secure their seats for the upcoming series.

What stadiums are hosting State of Origin 2023?
State of Origin organisers have continued the series structure that sees Queensland, New South Wales and a neutral state host one match each.
The three venues for 2023 are as follows:
Adelaide Oval, Adelaide
The Origin series opener will take place at Adelaide Oval on May 31.
The Blues and Maroons last played there in 2020, with Queensland emerging as 18-14 victors.
Whilst the oval design of the venue is not always ideal for rugby league, over 50,000 fans are expected to pack in for Game 1.
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
If the Maroons are able to win the series opener, they will feel extremely confident as they return to Queensland for Game 2.
June 21 is the date for the clash, with Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium given the hosting duties.
With a capacity of 52,500, passionate Maroons fans will make it a hostile environment for the Blues, regardless of the previous match result.
Accor Stadium, Sydney
New South Wales will host a potential series decider when Game 3 takes place on July 12.
It will mark the first time since 2019 that Sydney has hosted the third match.
Accor Stadium can hold up to 83,500 fans, with the game likely to be sold out.
