The North Queensland Cowboys fairytale continues into the preliminary finals, but they need to get the Sydney Roosters if they’re to play next week. This is The Roar‘s guide to live streaming the match online and watching it on TV.

Roosters vs Cowboys NRL Finals live scores and blog

The match, taking place at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, will kick-off at 7:40pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 23.

The Roosters only just got over the line in their qualifying final against Brisbane, with a magical late try from Latrell Mitchell securing them a memorable 24-22 win and, importantly, a week off.

North Queensland may have only just snuck into the top eight at the death, but they’ve made the most of their surprise visit. Upset wins over Cronulla and Parramatta have seen them through to an unlikely preliminary final berth.

How to watch the match on TV

There are two networks showing this match on TV, one through Foxtel and one on free-to-air TV.

The Nine Network is the free-to-air broadcaster, with their coverage of the game beginning at 7pm (AEST), straight after the news. They will have roughly 40 minutes of pre-game discussion and analysis before kick-off at 7:40pm.
