Wigan Warriors have been selected for Sky Sports broadcast in Rounds 13 and 15, as well as featuring in the Magic Weekend coverage.

Warriors will face Hull KR away live on Sky on Thursday 25th May.

Wigan will also feature on Sky Sports as they take on St Helens away on Friday 9th June.

Sky Sports and RL Commercial have agreed broadcast selections for Rounds 16-18 of Betfred Super League, with Wigan featuring three times in televised matches.

The Round 18 Hull derby at Sewell Group Craven Park had already been confirmed for coverage on Sunday July 9, with a high noon kick-off as Tony Smith’s Black and Whites aim for revenge against the high-flying Robins following their heavy Good Friday defeat at the MKM Stadium.

The Hull clubs will also feature in Sky’s coverage of Rounds 16 and 17.

Hull FC’s Round 16 match against St Helens will now be shown from the MKM Stadium on Thursday June 22, and that will be followed eight days later by a meeting of two of the success stories of the season so far, as Leigh Leopards host Hull KR on Friday June 30.

Leeds Rhinos will feature in both Rounds 16 and 17, at home to Huddersfield Giants on Friday June 23, and away to Warrington Wolves on Thursday June 29.

And the Wolves’ home match against St Helens, always a highlight of the season at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, will be shown on Friday July 7.

Forthcoming fixtures on Sky Sports which have already been confirmed kick off with Hull KR v Wigan on Thursday week, May 25, followed by the 2022 Grand Final repeat between Leeds Rhinos and St Helens at Headingley on Friday May 26.

Then all roads lead to Newcastle for the Magic Weekend, with all six fixtures shown live on June 3-4.

And Round 15 coverage kicks off with St Helens versus Wigan Warriors on Friday June 9, followed by Warrington Wolves versus Huddersfield Giants on Saturday June 10 (5pm).
