The Parramatta Eels are set to face off against the Newcastle Knights in Round 27 of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at CommBank Stadium in Sydney.

After only two victories in their first ten games, the Eels had a terrible start to the season and were near the bottom of the standings. They improved somewhat in the second half of the season, winning seven of their previous 13 games, but their form been erratic, and they are already out of the running for the Top Eight.

Despite starting the 2025 home-and-away season with two victories, the Knights had a terrible start overall. They have only managed six victories all season and are now fighting to avoid the dreaded Wooden Spoon, and need to match the Titans’ result in the final round to avoid as much.
