The 2023 NRLW draw has been released on Thursday, with the season to kick-off on July 22.
A nine-round season to be played between ten teams will lead into semi-finals and the grand final, with the decider to be played on NRL grand final day.
It's the first time the competition has featured ten teams, with the Cronulla Sharks, Canberra Raiders, North Queensland Cowboys and Wests Tigers joining the competition for the first time.
The Cowboys will be the first of those sides to commence their season, playing the Titans in the opening match away from home. The Raiders and Sharks will play each other in the Shire in the final game of the round, while the Tigers have a cross-town derby against the Eels to commence their time in the competition.
A number of double-headers have been scheduled throughout the course of the season, while the season will also feature four Thursday night games - two prior to NRL men's matches, and two standalone games in prime time during the NRL men's finals series.
As always, every game of the NRLW season will be available on Fox Sports and Channel 9, with the commitment this year rising to broadcast 45 regular season games prior to the finals kicking off.
