## Pre-season

The 2022 pre-season for NRL teams featured nineteen matches across three weekends, including the 2022 All Stars match and the annual Charity Shield match between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St George Illawarra Dragons.
The pre-season also saw the first ever rugby league match to be played in the western Victorian city of Ballarat when Melbourne Storm played the Newcastle Knights at Eureka Stadium in front of 5,127 people. The Charity Shield match also drew the highest attendance for the fixture since 2017, and aside from the All Stars match, was the largest attended match of the pre-season with 9,257 fans.
The match between the New Zealand Warriors and the Gold Coast Titans was cancelled after being initially postponed and rescheduled from Moreton Daily Stadium to Cbus Super Stadium due to the 2022 South East Queensland flood.
