The BBC will show a total of 15 live games during the 2024 campaign — starting with Wigan’s trip to Castleford on February 17 — and the World Club Challenge between Wigan and Penrith the following week, both of which will be on BBC2.

RL Commercial’s managing director Rhodri Jones said: “This is a landmark agreement for Rugby League. Securing live free-to-air coverage on the BBC for the Super League competition as part of this reimagined partnership, means there will be more visibility than ever before.”
