Australia v Fiji at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday 25 October 2026 will be one of Brisbane's major Rugby League World Cup fixtures. Suncorp Stadium lists kick-off at 7:05pm, with gates open time still to be confirmed.
International rugby league brings a different kind of event-day movement. Local supporters, interstate fans, visiting families, hospitality guests and teams of friends will all be moving through Milton and the wider Brisbane CBD before and after the match. This guide compares the main transport options and explains when a private transfer may be the right choice.

Why transport planning matters
Suncorp Stadium is close to Brisbane's CBD and well connected to public transport, but event crowds still create predictable pressure around Milton, Roma Street, Caxton Street and surrounding roads.
For a Sunday evening international fixture, supporters may be arriving from homes, hotels, Brisbane Airport, restaurants or hospitality venues. Planning the return journey before kick-off can make the night much easier.
Transport options compared
| Option | Best suited for | Main benefit | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public transport | Supporters comfortable travelling with crowds | Strong access to the Milton stadium precinct | Busy services after full time |
| Driving and parking | Fans with pre-planned parking outside restricted areas | Control over arrival timing | Parking restrictions and road congestion |
| Taxi or rideshare | Simple trips outside peak event demand | Flexible on the day | Post-match wait times and pricing may vary |
| Private transfer | Families, groups, hospitality guests and interstate visitors | Pre-arranged timing, vehicle choice and direct routing | Pickup point should be planned around stadium access |
When public transport makes sense
Public transport is practical for many Suncorp Stadium events. It works particularly well for supporters who are familiar with Brisbane, travelling light and comfortable leaving with large crowds.
The main challenge comes after full time, when thousands of supporters leave the stadium precinct together. If you are travelling with children, guests, luggage or a tight airport connection, a more controlled plan may be better.
When a private transfer is useful
A pre-booked transfer can make sense when the match is part of a larger trip. This may include airport arrival, hotel check-in, pre-match dining, hospitality, post-match plans or a return to Brisbane Airport.
Cars On Demand can assist with:
- Brisbane Airport pickup for interstate and international supporters;
- hotel to Suncorp Stadium transfers;
- larger vehicles for families and groups;
- hospitality guest transport;
- post-match return journeys; and
- fixed quotes arranged before travel.
If you are flying in for the match, consider arranging a Brisbane Airport transfer before match week.
Suggested match-day plan
- Before match day: Confirm tickets, accommodation, airport arrival and return transport.
- Afternoon: Allow extra time for Brisbane traffic and stadium precinct movement.
- Evening: Arrive early once gates open time is confirmed.
- 7:05pm: Kick-off.
- After full time: Meet your driver at the agreed pickup point outside the busiest pedestrian flow.
