Sky Sports make Super League TV selections for Rounds 16-19: Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves, Wigan Warriors among clubs picked
Warrington Wolves, Leeds Rhinos
Seven of the 12 Super League clubs will be shown ‘exclusively’ by Sky Sports in Rounds 16-19, with the broadcaster confirming their first TV ‘picks’ of the season ahead of the launch of their new streaming platform.
As confirmed before the start of the campaign, every single Super League game will be shown live this season.
By the time Round 16 comes around, Sky are expected to have launched their new streaming platform in line with the start of the new football season as EFL coverage ramps up. Each club across the EFL has been promised at least 20 live games per season.
That platform will be available to Sky Sports TV subscribers as part of their existing package. For non-Sky customers, Super League have, of course, already launched Super League+, their own streaming platform.
Super League+ will show up to four games per weekend, with Sky picking two ‘exclusive’ games each round. That has been the case so far this season already.
