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

The North Queensland Cowboys and the Gold Coast Titans are set to face each other at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Round 8 of the 2025 NRL season on Saturday.

The Cowboys had a very disappointing start to their home-and-away season as they lost all of their first three games of the season and were placed bottom of the ladder with only the Eels boasting a worse record. However, they have since bounced back with three straight wins against the Raiders, the Panthers and the Rabbitohs, and are now placed ninth on the ladder.

The Titans have also had a disappointing start to their season, as they took two wins in their opening three games. However, since then, they have failed to grab a single win. They are currently on a four-game losing streak and are placed 13th on the ladder.

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