It’s a Round 1 rematch with plenty of history as the Panthers take on the reigning premiers, the Broncos, on Thursday 16 July.
Penrith made a statement to open the season with a commanding 26-0 victory over Brisbane, but the Broncos ended the Panthers’ 2025 campaign with a thrilling 16-14 preliminary final victory. Now, another chapter in one of the NRL’s fiercest rivalries is set to unfold in what promises to be an unforgettable Women in League Round showdown.
In a club first, the Panthers' NSW Women's Premiership side will play ahead of the NRL match, making it a huge day of women's rugby league at CommBank Stadium.
