  • From Round 2, the NRL announced that matches would be played behind closed doors until further notice due to the ongoing and escalating COVID-19 situation.[44] At the end of the round however the NRL ceded to the dangers of the pandemic, announcing the immediate and indefinite suspension of the 2020 NRL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[45] The season was announced to be reinstated from the 28th of May and matches were redrawn due to the resulting shortened season.[46]
