Queensland level the 2026 State of Origin series after a 44-24 win over New South Wales at the MCG in Melbourne.

The victory forces the series into a deciding match in the best-of-three format. Sky Sports and Sky News specify that the next game is scheduled for July 8 in Brisbane, described as the decider of the series. BBC Sport also characterises the match as a thriller, highlighting Queensland’s comeback and the impact of Cobbo’s second-half scoring. Across the sources, the key points are consistent: Queensland defeat NSW by 20 points, Cobbo scores three tries, the series is brought level, and a final game is set to be played in Brisbane to determine the series winner.
