With the 2024 NRL season fixtures revealed on Monday morning, the anticipation for the upcoming season can begin to build.

From the first round trip to Las Vegas, to a grand final rematch in Round 3, chances for players to visit their old stomping grounds and blockbusters from one end of the season to the other, there will be a reason to tune into most matches throughout the season.

But Zero Tackle have picked the ten you should be locking into your calendar now.

Here are the matches you can't afford to miss in 2024.

9. Cronulla Sharks vs New Zealand Warriors, Round 26

When: Saturday, August 31, 7:35pm (AEST)
Where: 7:35pm (AEST)

The Sharks and Warriors are two teams expected to be well and truly in the finals race during the final weeks of the season, so this one could be carrying plenty of weight.

If things go as expected, both may be locked into the finals by now, but 2023 saw one of the closest races for the top eight of all time, so don't be surprised if at least one or even both of these teams are relying on the two competition points here to lock up their spot in September.
