2026 NRLW Player Movements

We track all the player movements - who's in, who's out, who's contracted to your club, and who's not for the 2026 NRLW season.

There are no changes to the composition of the 2026 NRLW season, with the same 12 clubs competing as did last year, which had seen Canterbury and the Warriors 

The 11-round competition culminates in a three-week finals series in September and October, with the Grand Final held the same day as the men's decider at Accor Stadium.
