State of Origin – one of the biggest events on the Australian rugby league calendar – is about to reach its conclusion for 2024.

New South Wales had the home-ground advantage for the opening game, but an early Joseph Sua'ali'i send-off took the game out of their hands, with Queensland running away as commanding winners.

The series then took a u-turn during Game 2 in Melbourne, as the Blues recorded a thumping victory.

Now, we have a decider to look forward to.

Can the Maroons wrap up the series on home soil, or will the Blues snag a win on enemy territory?

Whether you are living overseas or enjoying a trip abroad, The Sporting News takes you through the international broadcast details.
