A Historic Season Awaits: Bulldogs 2025 NRL Draw Announced
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs’ 2025 schedule has been officially announced, with the Club’s 90-Year Anniversary featuring historic blockbusters and bringing Members and supporters one of the biggest seasons in history.
Across the 27-week schedule, Cameron Ciraldo’s side will be primed to improve on their breakout season in 2024, where they will play half the competition twice and half of the competition once over 24 matches, with three byes.
The Bulldogs play the following teams twice: Dragons, Titans, Eels, Sharks, Rabbitohs, Broncos, Roosters and Panthers. The Bulldogs play the following teams once: Knights, Raiders, Dolphins, Cowboys, Sea Eagles, Tigers, Warriors, Storm.
The Bulldogs have the bye in Round 6, Round 13 and Round 16. Members and supporters will be treated to four Thursday, five Friday, seven Saturday, seven Sunday and one Monday match, in what is one of the most balanced schedules in recent history.
A majority of matches will be in Sydney (with one TBC), while away trips to Brisbane (Round 8 and Round 9), Canberra (Round 10), Townsville (Round 19), and Melbourne (Round 25) will mean minimal travel. All Members receive discounts when purchasing tickets to selected away matches.
After starting their campaign at Kogarah against the Dragons, the Bulldogs will kick-off the Club’s 90-Year celebrations at Belmore Sports Ground in Round 2, where they will face off against the Titans in the first home match of the season.
