The North Queensland Cowboys caused the upset of the finals last weekend, but will need to produce another special performance when they travel to Sydney for a semi-final against the Parramatta Eels. This is The Roar‘s guide to live streaming the match online and watching it on TV.
The match, set to be played at ANZ Stadium in Homebush is scheduled for kick-off at 7:40pm (AEST) on Sautrday, September 16.
The Cowboys were never expected to be in this position, having unexpectedly beaten the Sharks last year after crawling into the top eight.
On the other hand, the Eels faced a tough trip to Melbourne last week and almost came away with victory against the Storm. Their second chance has kept them alive though, and they will go into this week as heavy favourites.
The match will be broadcast on two stations in Australia, one on Foxtel and the other free-to-air TV.
The FTA TV option is on the Nine Network. They cover every game of the season, including finals and State of Origin, and will begin their broadcast at 7pm (AEST) on Saturday evening, allowing for a 40-minute pre-game.
Their broadcast may be on 9Go, 9Gem or Southern Cross TV if you are in regional areas. Check your local guides to confirm this information.
The other way to watch the contest will be on Fox League. This is Fox Sports’ rugby league channel. They will broadcast Holden Cup in the afternoon, then switch to a pre-game show for the NRL.
To watch Fox League on Channel 502, you will need a valid Foxtel TV subscription with the sports package.
For those with a valid Foxtel TV subscription, you will be able to stream the game online through the Foxtel app.
If you only want to stream Foxtel channels without the TV package, you can do so using Foxtel Now, which starts from $29 per month.
