NRL 2026 on The Tipoff: It’s Time to Settle the Office Debate Once and for All

The wait is finally over. The smell of liniment is back in the air, the gladiators are ready, and every fan Base - from Penrith to the Gold Coast - currently believes this is their year.

The 2026 NRL Telstra Premiership season is about to kick off, and the arguments have already begun. Everyone has an opinion. But opinions don't belong on a leaderboard. Accuracy does.

We are thrilled to announce that the NRL 2026 season is now officially LIVE on The Tipoff!

The End of the Office Spreadsheet

Every year, it’s the same story. Someone volunteers (or is forced) to run the footy tipping comp. They set up a complicated Excel spreadsheet, chase people for cash in an envelope, and spend Monday mornings manually entering results while everyone argues over who actually tipped the upset on Friday night.

It’s messy. It’s outdated. And quite frankly, it’s boring.

This season, we’re changing the game. Following the launch of our highly requested Groups feature, The Tipoff is now the ultimate home for your private NRL rivalries.

Your Private NRL Arena

While our Global Leaderboard lets you see how you stack up against the world's best, we know that footy tipping is tribal. The sweetest victories are the ones over your mates, your family, and that one guy in Accounts who thinks he’s a SuperCoach genius.

With Groups, you can create a dedicated, ring-fenced competition in under 60 seconds. Simply select the Groups option on the Leaderboard tab and you are away!

Why move your NRL comp to a Tipoff Group?

• Be the Commissioner: Hit ‘Create’, name your group (e.g., "The Silvertails vs Fibros", "QLDers Only", or "Work Footy Tipping"), and you’re in charge.

• Zero Friction Invites: Forget lengthy sign-up forms. Just shoot a unique 6-character code or a QR code into your WhatsApp group chat, and your crew can join instantly.

• Live, Accurate Data: No more manual calculations. We settle the tips based on official match data the moment the final whistle blows.

• Track the Season Rhythms: Our group leaderboards let you filter by This Week, This Month, or All Time. See who is a one-round wonder and who is playing the long game for the minor premiership.

All Glory, No Stress: The Tipoff is about skill, knowledge, and bragging rights. It’s the thrill of the win without the hassle of handling entry fees or the risk of betting.

Get Set Before Kickoff

The slate is clean. Everyone is on zero points. The opportunity to establish dominance starts in Round 1.

Don't leave it until the first ball is kicked. Gather your tribe, set up your Group, and get your tips in early.

It’s time to find out who really knows their footy.
