The schedule for Parramatta Eels includes events in the NRL. They play their home games at CommBank Stadium (Western Sydney Stadium). In the last 12 months, Eels have participated in 24 events listed on Koobit. You can find the schedule of upcoming events below.
Canterbury-Bankstown is generally considered to be Parramatta's biggest rivals: as well as being located in close geographical proximity to each other, the 2 sides have also met in several notable finals match-ups throughout the 1980's, 1990's, and 2000's. Throughout the 1980's, the 2 clubs were among the strongest in the NRL, winning a combined 8 premierships across the decade; they met in 2 grand finals in that period, winning one apiece.
Other major rivalries are those that Parramatta shares with fellow New South Wales sides the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and the Penrith Panthers. The rivalry with the Sea Eagles developed throughout the 1970's and 1980's, whilst the Parramatta-Penrith rivalry - often dubbed the Western Sydney Derby - has its origins in the 1950's and 1960's, with recent clashes, including the 2022 grand final, intensifying the rivalry.
A more recent Parramatta Eels rivalry is that shared with the Melbourne Storm. After the Victoria side was found guilty of breaching the NRL's salary cap between 2006 and 2010, Parramatta was among the sides which felt they had been denied a rightful premiership; notably physical encounters followed in subsequent seasons, and the sides have also met several times in the finals since.
Other rivalries include the Eels-Dragons rivalry, which developed as both sides competed for premierships in the 2000's and early 2010's.
The Parramatta Eels are an Australian rugby league team based in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. They play in the National Rugby League (NRL).
Founded in 1946 as simply "Parramatta", the club was a member of the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) Premiership - a forerunner to the NRL. They reached the finals for the first time in 1962, but it took another 14 years for them to reach their first grand final, which they lost to Manly-Warringah. They would lose again in 1977, this time to St. George, despite finishing the regular season as minor premiers.
The Eels' finally won a top-flight title in 1981, and they would defend their crown in both 1982 and 1983. They then lost the 1984 grand final, but won the premiership again in 1986. Since then, the Eels have appeared in 2 further grand finals, in 2001 and 2009.
The franchise name "Eels" was adopted in the 1960s; it was taken from an Aboriginal name for Parramatta - "Burramattagal" - which roughly translates to "place where the eels lie down". The Parramatta Eels' traditional home colours are gold and blue.
