State of Origin Game 3 will be played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Wednesday, July 8 between the Queensland Maroons and New South Wales Blues, and this is your full guide to watching the deciding game of the series on TV, or streaming it online.
Kick-off is scheduled for 8:05pm (AEST), with the two states heading into the game split at a win a piece.
After squandering a 14-point lead with 20 minutes to go in Game 1, the Maroons managed to hit back with a strong 20-point victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Game 2.
They take all the momentum into the decider, but will need to be at their best on their home strip if they want to claim what will be their fourth series win in five years.
Queensland welcome back Patrick Carrigan and Jeremiah Nanai for the decider, while the Blues have also made a number of changes throughout their side after the disappointing display in Melbourne.
