The Perth Bears are a planned professional rugby league football club based in Perth, Western Australia that are scheduled to enter the expanded National Rugby League competition from the 2027 season onwards. Since 2024, the club has direct developmental links to the North Sydney Bears, a foundation club that exited the NRL in 1999 when it merged with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles to form the Northern Eagles. Perth's team colours are the traditional red and black of North Sydney, with white added as a secondary colour. An original "Western Bears" bid was rejected by the NRL in October 2024. However, in April 2025, after initially putting negotiations on hold, the NRL entered negotiations with the Government of Western Australia, and on 8 May 2025, an agreement was reached to admit the Bears into the competition in 2027 as the Perth Bears.
