Brisbane’s schedule features 16 turnarounds of seven or more days, six of six days, and just one short turnaround, giving the side consistent recovery and preparation time.
The team will travel 15,833km through the regular season, below the NRL average of 24,776km, with no trip across the ditch to New Zealand due to the Magic Round away game.
The side will travel to Sydney, Melbourne, Townsville and Canberra, but won’t play the Eels, Knights or Sharks away.
The Broncos also benefit from well-placed byes during the State of Origin period, with a bye before Origin 1 and further breaks following Origin 2 and 3.

The Club won’t feature in the NRL Witzer Pre-Season Challenge, with the side to travel to Hull, England for the World Club Challenge match on February 19.
Players not making the trip will feature in two unofficial trial matches, against new affiliate club Sunshine Coast Falcons on Saturday, February 14 at 7pm at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
It’ll be followed by a clash with Brisbane-based affiliate Souths Logan on Sunday, February 22 at 2pm at Davies Park.
Brisbane Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy said:
“It’s a great draw for our Members and fans, having three of our first four games at Suncorp gives us the chance to build strong early momentum in front of a packed crowd – Broncos’ home games are the biggest entertainment in town.
“We’re really pleased with the balance of the schedule, particularly around travel and the Origin period, which gives our players the best opportunity to perform at their best.
“it’s another big year ahead and we can’t wait to see the Bronxnation back at home when the team returns from the global stage in England, to kick it off against Penrith.”
