The NRL draw won't be officially announced until Thursday morning, but Brisbane Broncos' fans won't need to wait that long, with the club's draw leaked on Wednesday evening.
While it was already common knowledge that the men from Red Hill would kick-off their season with a clash against the Penrith Panthers, News Corp have now obtained the remainder of the club's fixture list for the 2023 campaign.
Kevin Walters' side will play the Cowboys in Round 2 as the first of five straight games at Suncorp which includes an 'away' game against the Dolphins in Round 4. The four home games feature the Cowboys, Dragons, Tigers and Raiders.
The Titans will then host the Broncos in Round 7, meaning the Broncos don't travel further than the Gold Coast for a six-week period.
The club will meet the Panthers again in Round 12 in a difficult stretch which includes the Storm beforehand, while their byes are jammed into the back end of the season, with a tough run home featuring the Rabbitohs, Roosters, Cowboys, Eels and Storm in the final six weeks.

If I were a Brisbane supporter, I would be unimpressed that so many home games are crammed into the first couple of months. After round 17 there is only a single game at Suncorp: round 27.
Unless they score a home match in the finals, that round 27 game will be the last chance home fans have of seeing their team live, between June 25 and the start of the 2024 season.
