Where to watch Cowboys vs. Panthers: Free live stream, free-to-air channel, start time for NRL match image

The North Queensland Cowboys and the Penrith Panthers are set to face each other in Round 10 of the 2025 NRL season at WIN Stadium on Saturday.

The Cowboys started their 2025 season with three straight losses that put them on the back foot in their hunt for top-eight. However, they quickly bounced back with three wins on the trot before they lost to the New Zealand Warriors last weekend, and are now placed ninth on the ladder.

The Panthers have had a horrendous start to their defence of the 2024 Premiership as they suffered six straight losses to kick off their campaign. Since then, the Panthers have slowly stabilized and taken two wins in the last three weeks.

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