The Canterbury Bulldogs and Parramatta Eels have won the race to have the most games on free-to-air television in 2025, with the two clubs scheduled to have 14 of their 24 matches shown by Channel 9.

The Eels will have their first four matches on free-to-air and will enter next season with a new-look playing squad and coaching staff following the departures of Brad Arthur, Clint Gutherson, Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Trent Barrett.

The 2023 runners-up Brisbane Broncos, defending premiers Penrith Panthers and arch-rivals Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs all have 13 matches.

At the other end of the scale, the New Zealand Warriors have just three matches on free-to-air, while the Gold Coast Titans fare the worst of the Australian clubs with four, followed by the Canberra Raiders with six.
