Queensland are the heavy favourites to lift the shield at the end of the match, despite falling short of victory in the first game of the series in NSW.
NSW pulled off a remarkable comeback display to secure the win in that match, having trailed 20-0 at halftime. The Blues went on to win the game 22-20.
Queensland hit back to tie up the series in game two, winning 44-24.
The last time the two teams faced off at Suncorp Stadium last year, Queensland won 24-12. The Maroons have won 16 of 24 Origin deciders over the years.
Game three will be broadcast live exclusively on Nine and 9Now.
