Notes:

Scheduling

Ten teams will play each other once across nine rounds, followed by a two-week final series involving the top four teams. First place on the ladder plays fourth-place and second-place plays third-place in semi-finals, with the winners meeting in the Grand Final.[15]

The start, duration, and conclusion of the 2024 season was influenced by several factors.

Trial matches

On 12 June 2024, the Canberra Raiders announced a trial match against the Newcastle Knights.[17] On 18 June 2024, the Brisbane Broncos announced a trial match against the Wests Tigers.[18] On 3 July 2024, the NRL announced remaining trial fixtures.[19]
