Which nights should you book for Steelers v Storm?
The match is on Tuesday, 28 October 2026. Most supporters book one night — either the night before or the night of the match — depending on travel plans and kick-off time.

If you’re travelling from afar or attending with family or a group, consider booking the night of the 28th; check the official fixture announcement for confirmed kick-off time to decide whether you’ll need to stay overnight.
