The 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership Finals Series Week One schedule will feature matches in Melbourne, Sydney and Townsville.
The NRL today confirmed the times and venues for all Week One matches, featuring:

NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo said the finish to the 2024 regular season was exceptional.
"After 27 rounds the final position in the top eight came down to the very last match," Mr Abdo said.
"In 2024 we have seen spectacular football, the most tries since 1998, 10 Golden Point games and almost a third of the matches decided by six points or less.
"It has been a record-breaking season with more than 133 million people watching the NRL Telstra Premiership in 2024. 2024 has been the most attended season on record. Thank you to the more than 3.8 million fans who have attended our matches.
"We have some great match-ups in the Finals Series week one and in this Premiership, any team can win on the day."
