The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, based in the heart of Sydney’s western suburbs, are one of the most historic and beloved teams in the NRL.

Playing their home games at Bankwest Stadium, the Bulldogs bring a tough and tenacious style of rugby league to the field, making them a force to be reckoned with. Under the leadership of head coach Cameron Ciraldo, the team has undergone significant changes, including the signing of experienced players like Sitili Tupouniua and Tom Amone, who are expected to bolster the forward pack. Additionally, the return of former Bulldog Marcelo Montoya adds depth to the outside backs. With a renewed roster and a strong coaching staff, the Bulldogs are poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.

To stay updated on the Canterbury Bulldogs, this guide will have information on their next match in the 2025 NRL schedule, TV fixtures, broadcast rights, and streaming options.

As for the Bulldogs, the Nine Network will carry about seven of their matches live across channel Nine and their streaming platform 9Now, which unfortunately is far less than the twenty-four total games Canterbury will be playing.

For comparison, Foxtel and its broadcast partner Kayo Sports will be televising every game in every regular season round live, with no ad-breaks during play.

That’s a total of 204 matches, as well as every Canterbury Bulldogs home and away game available to watch Live. The matches will be carried on the 24/7 dedicated Fox League channel, where the programming will be formatted for 4K Ultra HD.

Kayo Sports gives you access to the same NRL broadcasts as Fox League (every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play) so you can stream the Canterbury Bulldogs live or on-demand.

The Nine Network, better known as Channel 9, is the official NRL free to air broadcaster and will show a select number of Bulldogs matches live during the 2025 Premiership season.

That’s because under the newest NRL broadcasting agreement, Nine could only secure three live games a week during the first 22 rounds, and then up to four live matches in rounds 23-27.

As a consolation of sorts, channel Nine does have exclusive TV rights to the State of Origin series, and the NRL Grand Final.
