Where to watch Raiders vs. Eels: Free live stream, free-to-air channel, start time for NRL Women’s match

It’s time for Round 3 of the 2025 NRL Women’s Premiership as the Canberra Raiders take on Parramatta Eels on Saturday at the GIO Stadium.

The Raiders have lost both games to start the new season and will be desperate to open their tally when they host the Eels in Canberra. 

However, despite promising signs, their defeats have both come at home this season. They conceded 92 points across the two losses to the Dragons and the Sharks. Even more shocking, this losing streak at home currently stands at eight, continuing from last season.

The Eels, meanwhile, are 1-1 in the season after a surprising Round 1 victory over the Sharks. However, they were humbled quickly when they made the trip to Auckland and struggled to put a single point on board, losing 14-0 to the Warriors.
