How to watch Leeds Rhinos at Castleford Tigers with key change to BBC coverage
Armchair viewers can watch Leeds Rhinos’ big derby at Castleford Tigers this weekend free of charge, without needing a subscription service.
As well as the usual coverage via Sky Sports and the competition’s own streaming channel SuperLeague+, the match will be shown live on the BBC Sport website, with a full replay later on the red button.
Live coverage was originally scheduled for the BBC red button, but now the Scottish FA Cup final will be shown in that slot instead. The full Super League game will be on the red button ‘as live’ from 7pm.b It is the first of successive Saturday derbies for Rhinos who play host to Wakefield Trinity a week later in a game which will be featured on BBC 2.
