Bathurst Mayor, Cr Robert Taylor, commented on the excitement the annual NRL match brings to town as the Panthers return to Carrington Park, their home away from home.
“Bathurst looks forward to the NRL match every year and this next one is set to be a great game! In 2026, the NRL Telstra Premiership is returning to Carrington Park on Saturday 14 March where the Penrith Panthers will take on the Cronulla Sharks at 7:30pm.
“Next year, we’ll also see the return of the much-loved community activities in the days before the game. This includes the Westfund Play Like a Panther Super Clinic, Panthers NRL Squad Meet & Greet and the Panther’s Sportsman’s Lunch. It’s terrific seeing the excitement and anticipation build in the lead up to the game with these brilliant event week activities.
"For the last two years we’ve had packed, sold-out crowds, so make sure you set your alarms next week to secure your tickets when they go live! They might just make the perfect Christmas present, too,” said Mayor Taylor.
