NRL Round 23 fixture on Channel 9 and 9Now

NRL Round 23 fixture on Channel 9 – Wide World of Sports will up the ante for footy fans on the run to the finals with nine games on Nine live and free every week, beginning tonight on the 9Network and 9Now from 5.30pm.

Plus, this week Saturday Night Footy joins the lineup for the rest of the regular NRL season, with superstars Latrell Mitchell and Nicho Hynes squaring off in Rabbitohs v Sharks for a place in the finals. 

A Roosters women’s and men’s double-header kicks off the round with NRLW from 5.30pm tonight on 9GemHD, featuring Millie Boyle, Isabelle Kelly and Jess Sergis lining up for the Tricolours against the Dragons. 

Straight after at 7.30pm on Channel 9HD, it’s the battle of the birds in Roosters v Sea Eagles where State of Origin captains James Tedesco and Daly Cherry-Evans will vie for a crucial win to hang onto any hopes of a finals appearance this season. 

Friday Night Footy is the centrepiece of the round when the back-to-back Panthers premiers host the ever-ominous Melbourne Storm. 

Hype of a premiership three-peat continues to build with the silky Panthers playmaker Nathan Cleary pulling the strings in attack behind the best defence in the league. However, the Storm know how to win big games – and never write off the talents of Cameron Munster and Harry Grant.

Nine’s Saturday NRLW double-header from 12.30pm features a Queensland derby between the Cowboys and Broncos, with two of the greatest halfbacks to play the game, Johnathan Thurston and Andrew Johns, in commentary, followed by Sharks v Titans.
