COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NRL matches were halted after the second round. The Sea Eagles were originally meant to play the New Zealand Warriors and Canberra Raiders in Rounds Three and Four, but the NRL announced an updated draw for those rounds on 15 May that gave the Sea Eagles fixtures against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the Parramatta Eels in those rounds. [1]

The Sea Eagles played home games at Central Coast Stadium until the end of round seven where they then returned back to Brookvale. [2]
