Sunday afternoon games, eight times on free to air and twice scheduled to appear in Friday Night Football are just some of the details to come out of the Sharks draw for the first 20 rounds of the 2015 season.
After opening their year against the Raiders at the special time of 6.30pm on Sunday in round one, the Sharks will become a consistent presence on Sunday’s, six times on channel Nine at the now live-to-air time of 4.00pm.
And while day and kick off times for the last six rounds have yet to be confirmed, opponents have been revealed, with the Sharks to face the 2014 Grand Finalists Souths and the Bulldogs just once in 2015.
The season schedule shows who the Sharks play, but we have broken down the draw to detail when they play, their free to air patches and the six teams they are drawn to take on just once.
