Premier Sports confirm next batch of live Championship TV matches

Premier Sports have confirmed eight more Championship matches which they will televise live this summer.

Having initially announced all of their picks until the end of May, the broadcaster have now revealed eight further games through June and July.

They will host Workington Town’s game against London Broncos on Thursday 2 June over the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday, before Monday games in the following weeks at Featherstone Rovers, Leigh Centurions and Barrow Raiders.

On Friday 8 July, Premier will show Newcastle Thunder’s tie against Bradford Bulls which serves as a curtain-raiser for Super League’s Magic Weekend.

There are then live matches back in the usual Monday slot at Halifax Panthers, York City Knights and Whitehaven.
