Newcastle, New Zealand Warriors and Manly will be based at the Central Cost Stadium.

Campbelltown Stadium – Dragons, Tigers, Panthers, Raiders
Central Coast Stadium – Knights, Warriors, Sea Eagles
Suncorp Stadium – Broncos, Titans

NRL interim chief executive Andrew Abdo said: “The competition will begin with a consolidated approach to venues.
“Each venue requires customised infrastructure to meet our strict biosecurity requirements.
“We’ve adopted a phased approach for venues should restrictions be eased in the future.
“We’ve chosen three consolidated venues for clubs in and around Sydney to ensure there are no double headers at venues and in different parts of the region to meet the geographical challenges we face.”
