The Papua New Guinea Hunters will attempt to cap off one of rugby league’s stories of the year when they take on the Penrith Panthers in the State Championship. This is The Roar’s ultimate guide to streaming the match online or watching it on TV.

The match is scheduled to be played at ANZ Stadium in Homebush, with kick-off set for 3:40pm (AEDT) as a lead-up match to the NRL grand final which will be played later that night.

The State Championship concept pits the winners of both the New South Wales and Queensland Cup against each other on the biggest day rugby league has to offer. Both the New South Wales and Queensland Cup are recognised as the NRL’s reserve grade competitions.

The Hunters qualified for the State Championship by defeating the Sunshine Coast Falcons in the Queensland Cup final, while the Panthers got over the Wyong Roos in the New South Wales Cup final.

How to watch the match on TV

There will be two ways to watch this match on TV right around the country. The first of those is through the Nine Network on free-to-air TV, while Fox Sports, through their 24/7 rugby league channel – known as Fox League will also broadcast the game.

Both will be live beforehand, thanks to their live coverage of the Holden Cup final, which goes before this one.

Fox League can be found on Foxtel channel 502, however, you will need a valid Foxtel TV subscription to view them. Channel 9 is available on Channel 90 in high definition, and 91 in standard definition.
