Superleague fixtures

[moorside roughyed]

Hi. Does anyone on here know when the Superleague fixtures are released? Many thanks.

[Griff]

Tomorrow, I think.

[Chris22]

Derek Beaumont has put on Facebook that it's Thursday at 9.30am.

That's the same day as the 2024 County Cricket Fixtures are released and must annoy LPL as surely it makes sense to announce the fixture list on a Sunday evening as before, at midnight so they are published in the only RL newspaper that comes out on the Monday..

Didn't we do some kind of reveal a year or two ago - where every club announced their home opener? Assume we aren't doing anything interesting this time.

Sorry mate, I think the article in the YEP reckons you might learn who Warrington play first from tomorrow, then the rest of the fixtures from Thursday.  So a similar plan.

Hi Dave T, Wigan site saying first 2 games announced tomorrow from 7pm , so I think it will be the same as last year where teams will announce their home opener , which in effect will be first 2 rounds . Have copied and pasted below if that helps

 

Magic Weekend will be Round 22 of the 2024 Betfred Super League season. The full fixtures list will be published on Thursday morning (8:30am), with Clubs revealing their opponents in the first two rounds on Wednesday evening (from 7pm).

Great game to start with 

[Hopie]

"Rivals round" is 3 derbys and 3 making up the numbers, could do with a rebrand

[Fevrover]

Ist round of games on bbc website 

[gingerjon]

My personal view - and it's entirely personal - is that it's a mistake to have games that would generate big crowds anyway as the opening day fixtures. You want games that would otherwise be under average so they get the boost from being the season starters.

I do agree with the comment made elsewhere that they should be loop fixtures as that way one of the three is out of the way.

Agree. Big game in February. Not ideal.

According to the Super League graphic this morning, four of the six games of the opening round, kick off on Friday at 8pm.

[Spidey]

Let’s get all games televised to maximise exposure. Then get them all clashing to compete with ourselves. Absolute own goal. I’m interested in live sport. I’m interested in RL. This means they’ll get no extra cash from me. Clowns

[Chrispmartha]

No Thursday home games for the Rhinos as it stands, Uncle Gary must have had a word

[Just Browny]

For some reason, Warrington play Catalans three times before we have any games against Wigan or Saints. It seems strange but probably not a big deal.

[Whippet13]

So 2 weekly games on Sky TV, with the remaining 4 streamed online by both Sky and Our League (presumably via PPV or season pass) with no FTA.

FTA still a possibility depends on C4 and if they want to put money in.

I think it's fair that they expect Channel 4 to pay to show the games, they have taken the cost of production away from them so they should in theory have budget to pay for the rights if they want them.

I am scratching my head trying to work out how this is going to work, as i was under the impression there would be staggered kick off times so no games clashed 

Thursday

Friday

Saturday 2

Sunday 2
