Game 1 of the 2020 State of Origin series between the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons will kick off at Adelaide Oval at 7:40pm.

Public transport services for the State of Origin are being operated at the same capacity as they would for a full crowd to enable spectators to socially distance as much as possible.

“We’re excited that South Australians will have the chance to witness a State of Origin game at Adelaide Oval for the very first time and we know the atmosphere will be electric,” Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Corey Wingard said.

“To be hosting the first game in what is the 40th State of Origin is an absolute pleasure and we’re thrilled that despite the challenges that all sport has faced this year we’re able to welcome the teams here to our great state.

“The Adelaide Oval Express public transport service will be in full operation so fans can get to and from this historic event safely and free of cost.

“We’re also asking spectators to please be patient as they wait for their transport to and from Adelaide Oval and to be mindful to socially distance as much as possible.”

As previously announced, the Gawler rail line will be closed between Adelaide and Salisbury railway stations, due to the Gawler Rail Electrification Project. Additional substitute buses will operate before and after the match.

On average, bus and tram passengers will only have to wait between five to 10 minutes for the next service, while train passengers should only wait around 15 minutes.

Passengers are encouraged to use their best judgement and to wait for the following service if they do not feel as though there is adequate space or if instructed to do so.

Additional customer service staff will also be at the gates and turnstiles at Adelaide Railway Station to remind people of the need to socially distance.
