Super League will begin on Thursday 10 February.
That means that the competition will be a 27-round schedule – the exact same length of calendar that took place before the COVID-19 pandemic hit back in 2020.
Each team will play home and away fixtures, alongside the Magic Weekend before the loop fixtures come into being to decide the final positions in the Super League table.
Meanwhile, the Grand Final is expected to take place on Saturday 24 September – two weeks earlier than usual in a bid to give Shaun Wane and the England side greater time to prepare for next year’s Rugby League World Cup.
That would also have meant that if the Grand Final had taken place on its usual 7/8 October weekend, then players would have had just a week to prepare for the most prestigious international event in world rugby league.
Fixture lists are expected out in due course with new boys Toulouse Olympique gearing up for their first season in the top flight in their history.

Super League start date revealed
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Super League start date revealed
So the "Fans hate Thursday Nights" message still hasn't got across then.....
Whats the betting we're involved in that opening game on the Thursday night?
So if its a 27 round schedule, starting a week later than normal and finishing 2 weeks earlier than normal. That means that we're going to have Wednesday night games with 3 games in a week again in order to fit it all in.

That's fairly late start but to be fair how the hell are they going squeeze all those games in
