The 2024 NRL season is well and truly underway now and it’s another quality start for the Panthers, but who’d expect anything different from the reigning champions?
Broncos vs Storm and Rabbitohs vs Warriors are some other NRL Round 5 fixtures that are naturally going to turn some heads (with the Broncos looking to go one better win the Premiership this season), but all eyes are on the Sea Eagles as they host the Panthers in an enthralling top of the table clash.
History would tell us that the Panthers look to be the favourites down in Sydney as the Sea Eagles have infamously lost each head-to-head since 2018, but with the form the Sea Eagles are currently in, anything can happen – and what better time to break that streak than in a fresh season?
What time is the Sea Eagles vs Panthers game on TV this weekend?
The Sea Eagles take on last season’s champions, the Panthers, on Saturday, April 6th, at 4 Pines Park in Sydney.
Check out the table below for the Sea Eagles v Panthers match start times in your specific area:
| City | Sydney/Melbourne | Brisbane | Adelaide | Perth |
| Time | 5:30pm | 4:30pm | 5pm | 2:30pm |
