Round 1 - Sunday, July 6: The opening match features the defending champions, Sydney Roosters, taking on the Warriors at Allianz Stadium at 11:50 AM (AEST).
This matchup is historically significant, marking the Warriors' first NRLW game since 2020.
The Roosters, with stars like Tarryn Aiken and Olivia Kernick, will face a determined Warriors team bolstered by new recruits such as Apii Nicholls and Mya Hill-Moana.
Round 8 - Sunday, August 24: A key clash is set for McDonald Jones Stadium, where the Knights will take on the Broncos at 11:50 AM (AEST).
Tamika Upton, a returning player and Dally M Player of the Year, will face her former Knights team.
