This King’s Birthday Monday, Accor Stadium will transform into the beating heart of Sydney as one of rugby league’s most heated rivalries reignites, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs take on the Parramatta Eels in a fierce Western Sydney derby.
Whether you’re a diehard member of the Bulldog Army, looking for a full-throttle day out with the kids, or simply chasing the best bang-for-your-buck public holiday plan, this is your sign to round up your crew and head west. Why? Because this isn’t just another game, it’s tradition, tribute, and turbocharged entertainment all rolled into one, and tickets start at just $10.
The action kicks off from 1:40 pm with the Bulldogs’ NSW Cup squad taking on the Western Suburbs Magpies, followed by the main event at 4:00 pm when the blue and whites face off against their longtime arch-rivals, the Eels. The stakes are high, the energy will be electric, and with tickets starting from $10, it’s never been easier to be part of something special.
But the entertainment doesn’t stop at the siren. Accor Stadium is pulling out all the stops for fans of all ages. From 1:30pm, the precinct will come alive with inflatables, dart boards, foam hand giveaways, and a Bulldogs jersey personalisation station for that extra bit of flair. Feel like making an entrance? March to the stadium alongside the players from outside the Pullman Hotel at 2:00 pm, flags flying, voices raised, full footy pride on display.
In a historic first, the Bulldogs will also unveil their inaugural NRLW squad on-field before the game. Head coach Brayden Wiliame and star Holli Wheeler will be speaking live before the squad laps the field for fan photos and signatures. It’s your chance to meet the trailblazers before they kick off their debut season on July 4th.
