How to watch Dolphins vs Roosters for FREE: live Streams & TV channels for NRL Preliminary Final
All the ways to watch Dolphins vs Roosters live streams – including for FREE – in this NRL Preliminary Final 2026 that takes place in Brisbane on Friday.
Kick off the Dolphins vs Roosters NRL Preliminary Final on Friday, September 25 at 5:50am ET / 10:50am BST / 7:50pm AEST. The Phins will face their Sydney suburbs rivals in the first match of the 2026 season, aiming for a spot in the Grand Final. This is the Dolphins' fourth year, with their only prior NRL experience coming in their inaugural season in 2023, where they defeated the Roosters 26-16 in their first-ever game.
Their confidence is high after beating the Warriors 26-16 just two weeks ago, following a 66-0 loss to the Sharks that threatened their season. The Roosters, however, bring considerable experience to the match, having won the NRL title in 2019 and featuring many of the same players who were part of that victorious squad. Mark Nawaqanitawase is eager to finish his NRL career with one more game before moving to Japan, while Daly Cherry-Evans will return to the five-eighth position after Sam Walker comes back into the lineup.
