There's plenty to be excited about in 2024.
From rivalry games, local derbies, big Sydney clubs visiting and great timeslots, there are some dates worth circling on the calendar following the release of the new season draw.
Season opener
Match: Titans v Dragons
Round 1 -
home Team
Titans
16th Position
away Team
Dragons
2nd Position

For the first time since 2019, the Titans will open a season at home. It's also nice to know it's not an early afternoon fixture in March!
The Gold Coast will host the Dragons at 6.35pm Saturday March 9, with the Legion to get first glimpse of the team under new coach Des Hasler on home turf for the first time.
It will also set to be AJ Brimson's 100th NRL game, Isaac Liu's 250th and Brian Kelly's century of Titans appearances.
Easter Saturday

This Easter, make sure it's spent on the Gold Coast... even better, make sure all family and friends spend the Easter break in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
It'll be worth it, with a massive local derby to look forward to on Easter Saturday, hosting the Dolphins in the Sunshine Showdown at Cbus Super Stadium.
The Titans may have just two fixtures against each other under their belt, but this South East Queensland derby is quickly turning into a friendly rivalry.

Manly have added some key players over the off-season and with both sides looking to climb back into the finals, this is an important early season clash.

Wahs are back
Match: Titans v Warriors
Round 16 -
home Team
Titans
15th Position
away Team
Warriors
12th Position
Venue: Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast
It's always near a full-house when the Warriors come to town and after an impressive 2023, expect this one to be nearing a sell-out again in 2024.
With plenty of fired up Kiwis, it's a clash fans should highlight this game to attend and be in full flight with support for the Titans. It's always a great atmosphere against the Wahs and the recent games at Cbus between the two sides have been highly entertaining.
At 3pm on Saturday June, 22, this one will be a cracker.
