PNG NBC will broadcast these home games across PNG and selected Pacific Island markets. In Papua New Guinea, NBC will feature all the matches LIVE on NBC Channel 1 for free along with a simulcast on NBC Radio.

The agreement strengthens NBC’s commitment to deliver premium rugby league content to audiences across the region. Fans will now watch every London Broncos home fixture live through NBC’s television, radio and digital platforms.

“Rugby league holds a special place in the hearts of people across PNG and the Pacific," Nou said. “This agreement gives our viewers direct access to London Broncos home matches and strengthens NBC’s role as the home of rugby league in the region.

“The London Broncos represent one of the most recognised rugby league clubs in the United Kingdom. This new partnership gives Pacific fans the opportunity to follow the team’s home campaign throughout the season."

London Broncos co-owner Grant Wechsel said the club is excited for this new partnership, which will see all remaining London Broncos home matches in the 2026 season broadcast across Papua New Guinea and selected Pacific Island markets.
