The New Zealand Warriors and the Dolphins are set to face off in Round 22 of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at the Go Media Stadium in Auckland.

The Warriors started their 2025 season strongly, winning eight of their first 10 matches. However, their recent form has dipped slightly, with four wins and three losses in their last seven outings. That slide has seen them drop to fourth on the ladder, now sitting four points behind the ladder-leading Canberra Raiders.

The Dolphins had a horror start to their campaign as they only managed to take home three wins in the opening nine game. However, their results have improved over the last nine games as they have taken six wins and suffered just three losses. The Dolphins' recent form has seen them rise all the way up to eighth on the NRL ladder.

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