Fans can get an early gauge on pre-season form heading into the 2020 Telstra Premiership with NRL.com live-streaming a host of trials.

NRL Account holders will have free access - via the website or the NRL App - to all eight trials this weekend as teams crank up their preparations for the season ahead.

This week's live streams kick off with a special pre-game show on NRL.com from Bega, where Penrith and the Eels are meeting in the EISS Super Sapphire Trial Tribute.

The game is part of a three-day festival, which will include a free concert headlined by ARIA award-winning Australian artist Amy Shark. The trial was relocated from Penrith to support the South Coast region and honour firefighters and volunteers.
