2026 NRL Draw: GIO Stadium set to host 12 home games for Canberra fans 🏡

The Raiders will play host to the Bulldogs in round three, treating Canberra fans to a huge clash to kickstart the season. These two famous clubs met in-front of a sold out GIO Stadium in 2025, beginning a new modern-day rivalry. Fresh off a top four finish, both these sides will be keen to start their respective seasons off right.

Finals Rematch 🏆

Canberra fans won't have to wait long to welcome Cronulla back to the Capital after our semi-final defeat to the Sharks last season. The Raiders will be looking for revenge as the Sharks will be looking to go one better in 2026.

Friday Night Lights ⚡

The Raiders welcome the Storm back to GIO Stadium for the first time since 2021. After an epic Raiders golden point victory in 2025 Magic Round, there will be no love lost between these two sides. Friday night footy under the bright lights of GIO will set the scene for a mouthwatering matchup.

Sunday Afternoon in the Capital 🏉

Canberra fans will be treated to one of the games of the year as the Raiders host the Panthers at GIO Stadium in round ten. After the Miracle in Mudgee last season, Ethan Strange and Kaeo Weekes will be looking to replicate their match winning try over Penrith in-front of a packed home crowd.

Revenge Game 😤

In our final home game of the year, the Broncos and Raiders will face off again at GIO Stadium after the 94-minute rollercoaster in last season's finals series. Canberra fans will have to wait until late August to cheer on the Green Machine as they cast revenge on the reigning premiers on home turf.
