Super League on TV: how to watch Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers and Wakefield Trinity plus bonus free game
Armchair rugby league fans face some tough choices this weekend, with only two of the seven games not clashing with other fixtures.
There are two Thursday matches and three on Friday, all kicking-off at 8pm. Table-topping Leeds Rhinos’ AMT Headingley showdown with Catalans Dragons and Castleford Tigers’ home game against Hull FC, both on Friday, will both be shown live via the Sky Sports+ red button and the competition’s own streaming service SuperLeague+. The broadcasts begin shortly before kick-off and can’t be recorded.
Sky’s exclusive matches this week, which include 30 minutes of build-up, are at York Knights on Thursday where Toulouse Olympique are the visitors and the following evening when Warrington Wolves play host to Wigan Warriors. Thursday’s other game is Leigh Leopards versus Huddersfield Giants and on Saturday, Bradford Bulls take on Hull KR followed by St Helens v Wakefield Trinity. Those three will be shown via the Sky Sports+ red button and SuperLeague+.
Individual matches on SuperLeague+ cost £7.99 and monthly rates are £19.99, but Bulls’ clash with Hull KR will be available free of charge and without a subscription. To watch, sign up via this link.
