In a move that has been described as being in the "best interests of this club," the Wests Tigers have solidified their game plan for their home matches over the next three years.

Amidst much speculation and debate, the Tigers have made their decision, with CommBank Stadium, Campbelltown Sports Stadium, and the iconic Leichhardt Oval all set to play a role in their upcoming matches.

Leichhardt Oval, often referred to as the "eighth wonder of the world," has received a much-needed facelift with a $40 million injection from various levels of government.

Despite previous criticisms of the facilities, the historic ground will still play a vital role in hosting three NRL matches as well as the club's final trial match over the next three seasons.

CommBank Stadium in Parramatta will be the stage for four matches each year in 2025, 2026, and 2027, while Campbelltown will also host four games in the first two mentioned years with a potential extension into 2027.

In addition to their home grounds, the Tigers will also make a yearly pilgrimage to Suncorp Stadium for Magic Round.

However, they have decided to part ways with Tamworth in their scheduling plans.

After extensive planning, research, and negotiations with various stakeholders, including councils and venue operators, the Tigers have settled on this three-year stadium policy to ensure the best outcomes for the club moving forward.
