The Knights will share Central Coast Stadium with Manly and the New Zealand Warriors.
Six venues - Western Sydney Stadium, Campbelltown Stadium, Central Coast Stadium, Suncorp Stadium, Townsville Stadium and Melbourne - will be used during phase one of the season.
"The competition will begin with a consolidated approach to venues. Each venue requires customised infrastructure to meet our strict biosecurity requirements. We've adopted a phased approach for venues should restrictions be eased in the future," acting NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said.
"We've chosen three consolidated venues for clubs in and around Sydney to ensure there are no double headers at venues and in different parts of the region to meet the geographical challenges we face."
HOME VENUE ALLOCATIONS UP TO ROUND NINE
Western Sydney Stadium - Parramatta Eels, Canterbury Bulldogs, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Cronulla Sharks, Sydney Roosters
Campbelltown Stadium - Canberra Raiders, Wests Tigers, St George Illawarra Dragons, Penrith Panthers
Central Coast Stadium - Newcastle Knights, New Zealand Warriors, Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles
