CHANNEL 4 took rugby league by storm in 2022.
The terrestrial broadcaster signed a two-year deal with the sport to broadcast ten Super League games for the 2022 season – including a play-off game and a semi-final.
In terms of attracting audiences, Channel 4 went above and beyond what most people expected with over half a million tuning in for the first two live games which saw Warrington Wolves beat Leeds Rhinos and then St Helens overcome Hull FC.
Since then, the broadcasting giant has been making waves in rugby league, with Channel 4 set to broadcast another ten live fixtures in 2023.
In addition to that, Channel 4 announced that the nine Super League games from 2022 will be streamed on the All 4 streaming site, so if any potential viewers missed out first time round then they can get their fix.
