In 1982, several early season NSWRL games were played on a Friday night, however regular non-weekend football began as ''Monday Night Football'' in 1985, with Canterbury meeting Manly on 24 June.

As with Monday Night Football, regular Friday fixtures only commenced in the latter half of the season, due to the midweek competition. By 1990, a Friday night game was usually scheduled in all rounds.
