Newcastle Knights vs Canberra Raiders live stream guide: How to watch NRL elimination final on TV or online, start time, team lists

The final game during the first week of the NRL finals will see the second elimination final, with the red-hot Newcastle Knights to clash with the Canberra Raiders in the Hunter.

This is Zero Tackle's guide to the match, including how to watch it online and on TV so you won't miss a moment of the action.

Kick-off is set for 7:50pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 10, with the Knights earning hosting rights to the match, which will be played at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.

The road to the finals

The Knights have won nine games on the trot heading into the finals, rescuing themselves from a position where they looked unlikely to feature in the finals, to one where they host an elimination final.

The Raiders, meanwhile, snuck into the finals despite finishing the season with a negative for and against. Gritty for the most part, the Raiders found a way of peeling off wins when it seemed impossible and wound up in eighth spot despite at one stage looking primed for a top four finish.
