Tonight's footy fixtures are set to kick off with the Bulldogs taking on the Sea Eagles and the Panthers facing off against the Rabbitohs.
The scheduling may leave some fans disappointed at missing out on the action live in the stadium.
It's moments like these when flex scheduling comes into play, ensuring that marquee match-ups like Bulldogs vs Sea Eagles are given the spotlight in prime time.
The clash between Penrith and Souths may have lost some of its shine since the start of the season, but there's still plenty of anticipation surrounding it.
A shift in scheduling could draw a big crowd at Penrith, especially considering their largest home attendance this year came during a Friday 6pm game under less-than-ideal weather conditions.
By rearranging the games, more fans could make their way to Homebush without having to navigate the chaos of peak hour traffic to get to Accor Stadium.
It's all about getting the top matches into the best time slots and ensuring as many supporters as possible can cheer on their teams - that's where the flex comes in.
With the Bulldogs set to take on Manly in the headline fixture of the round, excitement is building as kick-off approaches.
The final teams have been announced, and anticipation is running high amongst fans and players alike.
