The Brisbane Broncos take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium in Round 22 of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL).

In 2025, the Broncos haven't had the most reliable season. Despite their ten victories and eight defeats thus far, Brisbane has maintained their position in the Top Eight. As they enter Round 22, they are only two points ahead of the Sea Eagles, who are now in ninth place on the ladder.

The Rabbitohs' performance has drastically declined in the last several weeks. They had a great start, winning four of their first five games, but they have only won two of their past 14 games. They have fallen all the way to the bottom of the ladder as a result of their awful run.

The Sporting News is on hand to bring you all the latest TV, scheduling and live streaming information ahead of this match.
