The Penrith Panthers have locked in their home turf for the 2025 season, with Commbank Stadium set to be their battlefield for all eight Sydney-based clashes.
This strategic move comes as their usual stomping ground undergoes renovations and is benched for a year.
However, the Panthers are expected to return to their beloved den in full force for the kick-off of the 2026 season.
As the current reigning premiers for three consecutive seasons, the Panthers will tackle their remaining four matches outside of Sydney.
One showdown is set for the bright lights of Las Vegas, another in the rugby heartland of Brisbane for the iconic Magic Round, and the rest will take place in regional New South Wales.
The Panthers' bond with Bathurst at Carrington Park remains strong, while a fresh partnership with Mudgee is on the horizon.
Mudgee's Glen Willow Regional Sports Complex, renowned for hosting the Charity Shield in recent times, will welcome the Panthers with open arms.
The future of its previous alliance with the St George Illawarra Dragons hangs in the balance as the Panthers make themselves at home.
Commbank Stadium, the iconic home ground of the Parramatta Eels, will now also see the West Tigers in action alongside the Panthers.
This sporting arena, which also hosts soccer and rugby union clashes, is gearing up for a jam-packed 2025 season like never before.
A true epicenter of sporting glory, Commbank Stadium is set to witness some fierce battles and enthralling encounters throughout the upcoming season.
