VIEWING figures on Sky Sports for the Wigan-Warrington clash peaked at 340,000 – the highest ever for a regular season Super League fixture, excluding one match during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The match also delivered best ever figures for a Super League match in Australia through Foxtel and Kayo Sports in what can only be described as a major boost for the sport in the northern hemisphere.
And the Wakefield Trinity versus St Helens fixture that was shown on BBC Two on Saturday afternoon also set new heights in 2025, with the peak audience more than 15% up, and the peak audience share reaching 6% – a new record for a Super League fixture on the BBC.
In total, Round 3 of the Betfred Super League had viewing figures well in excess of 1m – for the first time since the opening round of 2022.
Digitally, records tumbled as the Vegas effect drove 18.2 million impressions across the Betfred Super League channels, the most ever for a regular season round beating the previous best by 59% – and 9.8 million video views also set a new regular season Super League best.

Viewing figures revealed for Las Vegas between Wigan & Warrington & BBC’s broadcast of Wakefield v St Helens
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

How great was those weekend games in Vegas. As a Canberra Raiders fan I have now been completely won over to Wigan after the amazing fan connection at the game.
And Wow. What an exciting team Wigan are to watch, if that style of play doesn’t catch the eye of some Americans, I don’t know what will.

A shame the NZ Warriors didn't offer you more of a contest; I thought they were very poor. As for Wigan, that's what we do: solid defence, and pace and skill to score points when we get the chance.
