NRL expansion's Dolphins confirm seven games at Brisbane Suncorp Stadium during 2023 season

New NRL team the Dolphins, the first team to enter the competition since the Gold Coast Titans in 2007, have advised that they will play seven games at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium during their inaugural season.

It means that of their 12 home games, over half will be played at the 52,500 capacity venue, the home ground of the Brisbane Broncos also call home, while another three have been locked in for the team’s traditional home ground, the Moreton Daily Stadium in Redcliffe.

The club has also confirmed that its Round 1 NRL clash - against a yet to be determined opponent - will be held at Suncorp Stadium (pictured).

Announcing the venues where the former Queensland Cup side will play, Dolphins' Chief Executive, Terry Reader advised “we are confirmed as playing the majority of our home matches at the best rugby league ground in the world.

“And for the first time today the general public can purchase season tickets that include our seven matches at Suncorp Stadium and the three home games set down for Moreton Daily Stadium at Redcliffe."

Negotiations are understood to be ongoing regarding the location of the expansion club’s final two home games of the 2023 season.

It has been reported that the Dolphins will almost certainly play one of their remaining two home games on the Sunshine Coast, and that number could yet expand to cater both of their remaining games.

The team’s opening trial match - the first time the team will play as a match - is set to be held in Central Queensland at Browne Park in Rockhampton.

The move is part of an agreement that has seen the Central Queensland Capras become an affiliate club of the Dolphins.
