The 2023 Betfred Super League season will get under way on Thursday February 16 as Warrington Wolves take on the Leeds Rhinos live on Sky Sports.

The regular season in 2023 will see each team play 27 fixtures – 13 home and 13 away, plus Magic Weekend at St James’ Park, Newcastle.

Warrington Wolves vs Leeds Rhinos is the first of 66 games that will be shown live on Sky.

Following the opening clash, the new faces of Super League will be live on Sky Sports, as the newly-promoted and newly re-named Leigh Leopards welcome former coach Paul Rowley and his Salford Red Devils team to Leigh Sports Village on Friday February 17.

Easter Weekend is set for a bumper round of fixtures as Rivals Round takes over once again and, for the first time, all six games will be live on Sky Sports.

The action starts with a West Yorkshire rivalry as Castleford Tigers host Wakefield Trinity on Thursday April 6 and will see Hull FC vs Hull KR, Wigan Warriors vs St Helens, Leigh Leopards vs Salford Red Devils, Catalans Dragons vs Warrington Wolves and Leeds Rhinos vs Huddersfield Giants from Friday through to Sunday.

At the end of the regular season, the Play-Off series will see the top six ranked teams fight it out to reach Old Trafford and the top two teams at the end of the regular season will be just 80 minutes from the Grand Final and receive a bye in week one before facing the winners from third vs sixth and fourth vs fifth.

The climax of the season, the Betfred Super League Grand Final, will once again take place at Old Trafford on Saturday October 14.

World Club Challenge in the works

Super League and St Helens continue to work with the NRL to finalise arrangements for a World Club Challenge game to be held across the weekend of February 18 and 19 with further information to come as decisions are finalised.

With St Helens potentially taking part in the World Club Challenge, their opening round fixture against Huddersfield Giants will be postponed and re-arranged at a date later in the season.
