The 2025 NRLW season is ready for lift off and every game is available live and free on the 9Network and 9Now, beginning with Sharks v Eels on Thursday, July 3 at 7.30pm AEST.

Two new teams – the Canterbury Bulldogs and New Zealand Warriors – will join the NRLW in 2025 as it expands to 12 teams, and sitting at the top of the tree is a Sydney Roosters featuring Dally M Medallist Olivia Kernick, Isabelle Kelly and Jess Sergis when they aim to defend their title.

A red hot pack of the best female athletes in the country will form the chasing pack. Tamika Upton and Julia Robinson will feature for competition favourites the Brisbane Broncos, 2024 grand finalists the Cronulla Sharks with Emma Verran and Tiana Penitani, Gold Coast Titans speedster Jaime Chapman and a chasing pack of next gen talent from the Warriors, Bulldogs, Knights, Eels, Cowboys, Raiders, Dragons and Wests Tigers.

Hosted by Emma Lawrence, Nine’s NRLW commentary team features the biggest names in the game with international rugby league representatives Millie Elliott, Ruan Sims and Allana Ferguson, plus NRL premiership winners Johnathan Thurston, Andrew Johns, Brad Fittler, Phil Gould, Paul Gallen, Darren Lockyer, sideline reporters Marlee Silva, Bronte Gildea and commentators Brenton Speed, Peter Psaltis, Mat Thompson and Anthony Maroon.

On Saturday it steps up a notch with a triple header of games plus NRLWrap, the only dedicated women’s rugby league show, running from 12.30pm AEST.
