The only way to watch the game on TV will be through free-to-air broadcaster Channel Nine. They will broadcast the match right around Australia, through either Nine, Gem, Go or Southern Cross in regional areas.
Be sure to check your local guides to find out which channel it will be shown on in your local area.
Channel Nine’s coverage of the match will start at 3:30pm (AEST) which is 30 minutes before the scheduled time for kick-off, allowing for a comprehensive pre-game match. Sunday afternoon matches have regularly kicked off at closer to 4:15pm (AEST) this season though.
Their coverage is scheduled to run until 6pm (AEST), or whenever the game concludes – whichever is later.
There will be only one legal way to live stream the match which will be through the NRL Digital Pass. This can be used on any device you own.
It does come with a two-week free trial, but after that it will set you back either $2.99 a week of $89.99 for the entire year. It will give you access to every match of the regular season, finals, State of Origin, Anzac Test, City-Country and Pacific Tests.
Of course, The Roar will be providing a live blog of the match, and The Roar TV will have highlights during and after the match.
