There have been over 1,100 rugby league footballers who have played for the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League since its foundation in 1908. They are listed in order of their chronological player number, with the first going to the club's inaugural captain, Harry "Jersey" Flegg.[1] The Sydney Roosters are one of only two existing clubs from the premiership's foundation year of 1908, and remain the only club to have played continuously in all seasons since then, thus making their all-time players list one of the most extensive in history.

In 2018, the inaugural NRL Women's Premiership season commenced. As a result of this, the Sydney Roosters became the only club in history to be foundation members of both the men's and women's premiership competitions. As with the men's player list, they are ordered by their chronological player number.[2]

Only premiership statistics are taken into account in the lists below; statistics from competitions ranked below premiership level are not included. Players highlighted in green are currently contracted to the Sydney Roosters. Statistics are correct as of 10 March 2021.[3][4][5]
