Footy fans travelling to CommBank Stadium for the NRL this weekend can travel for free on public transport, with the cost travel included in all match-day tickets this year.
Integrated ticketing will cover the cost of travel for all NRL and A-League matches at the western Sydney stadium in 2025, making it easier for fans to support their teams.
This follows the same arrangement that fans enjoy at Allianz Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground, and major events at Accor Stadium.
CommBank Stadium will host three matches in three days this weekend, with Penrith Panthers to take on the Sydney Roosters on Friday night, followed by Western Sydney Wanders-Melbourne Victory on Saturday night and Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
With the new L4 Parramatta Light Rail services running regularly between Carlingford, Westmead and Parramatta, it's even easier for sports fans to make the most of the season ahead, with a stop conveniently located just a few hundred metres from CommBank Stadium.
From the Prince Alfred Square Light Rail stop, the stadium is a short walk along Victoria Road. Passengers can take the light rail to connect to Paramatta and Westmead train stations, other local bus services, and ferries at Paramatta wharf.
There is no need for fans to tap on and off when boarding services - they simply show their match-day ticket to staff.
In 2025, the Parramatta Eels and Western Sydney Wanderers will be joined by the Wests Tigers and four-time reigning premiers, Penrith Panthers, to call CommBank Stadium home.
The NSW Government remains committed to enhancing public transport options for major events. Integrated ticketing simplifies the journey to and from events, making a trip to CommBank Stadium more enjoyable and stress-free.

Minister for Transport John Graham said:
"Footy fans should have the same experience whether their team plays in Western Sydney or in the CBD.
"More than half a million people are expected to visit CommBank stadium this year and we want all of them to think about leaving the car at home and using public transport instead.
"With the Parramatta Light Rail having recently joined the network, fans will have even more convenient options when going a game at CommBank Stadium."
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:
"With a bumper 2025 season on the way, we want as many sports fans packing out our stadium as possible. Integrated ticketing for public transport has long been available for matches at Allianz Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Ground so it is only fair that fans attending the sporting jewel of Western Sydney get the same."
Member for Parramatta Donna Davis said:
"This is great news for everyone in Parramatta who loves Rugby League and Football. You won't have to pay to get on public transport if you've got a ticket to games at CommBank Stadium.
"This won't just make public transport more convenient for passengers in Parramatta and Western Sydney, this is about fairness too. It's no longer one rule for the venues in the east, and another for venues here."
Venues NSW Chief Executive Officer Kerrie Mather said:
"With public transport now included in all NRL/NRLW and A-Leagues match-day tickets at CommBank Stadium, it's never been easier for footy fans to support their team.
"CommBank Stadium is set for another huge year with a record 23 NRL and NRLW match days, the WSW Wanderers' march to the finals and Nitro Circus just some of the events confirmed so far."
Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos said:
"Offering integrated transport is important to enhance the overall game day experience for our members and fans."
