Dolphins 2026 draw released

The Dolphins have been dealt a jam-packed draw for the 2026 NRL season for the Sea of Red to descend upon Suncorp Stadium once again.

Wayne Bennett and his Rabbitohs will open the year with a trip to Brisbane on Sunday March 8 with a 3pm kick off, in a match that is sure to draw in the family crowd.

The Dolphins then go back-to-back on home games to start the season with the Titans travelling up the M1 the following weekend for a Sunday evening fixture back at Suncorp Stadium.

Easter Thursday will feature the Sea Eagles making their first visit to the Dolphins' spiritual home, Kayo Stadium, before the Dolphins will take the show on the road for a home game at Darwin's TIO Stadium against the Panthers.

This is the start of a three-year commitment to take a match to the Northern Territory, following on from the Dolphins' previous visits to Perth.

After an away trip to Wellington to play the Warriors, the Dolphins will host the Storm and Bulldogs in another slate of back-to-back home games.

It will be a Friday night blockbuster against the Storm on May 1 before a Thursday night thriller against Bulldogs on Thursday May 7 as the Dolphins look to repeat their 2025 heroics against both sides.

Friday night at Suncorp Stadium will feature once again, this time when the Dolphins host the Roosters on June 12, playing for the Arthur Beetson Legacy Medal.

The Warriors will make their presence felt at Suncorp Stadium for a 3pm kick off on Saturday June 27, with Kayo Stadium hosting the Sharks on Saturday July 11 two weeks later.

The Cowboys will travel down to the Suncorp Stadium for another XXXX Derby on July 19 before the biggest club game in the world hits the venue.

The Battle For Brisbane against the 2025 Premiers, the Broncos, will explode on Saturday August 8 in the family-friendly timeslot of 5.30pm.

The Dolphins' final home game of the year will be against the Eels, setting up another potential footrace between Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Josh Addo-Carr on Friday August 21.
