2020 NRL season results
The 2020 NRL season is the 113th of professional rugby league in Australia and the 23rd season run by the National Rugby League.
As of 3 May 2020, the season was shortened from 25 rounds to 20, and the finals series and State of Origin will be pushed back, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first two rounds were played before the season was suspended on March 23, and premiership points earned from those rounds are still counted. The season has since resumed on 28 May.[1] After playing the first two rounds with 2 referees, the decision was made to play the remaining rounds with one referee. To accommodate this, a number of other rules changes were introduced.[2]
Regular season
All times are in AEDT (UTC+11:00) up until the 5th of April and AEST (UTC+11:00) from then on.
