There\u2019s a full programme of Super League and the NRL this weekend after a break for the Challenge Cup last week \u2013 and it promises to be a blockbuster weekend on both sides of the rugby league world.<\/p>\n
With an historic game in Paris as well as some huge Super League games in England, there\u2019s lots to be excited about.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how your viewing schedule unfolds over the weekend \u2013 which is extended this time around thanks to a rare Monday NRL fixture..<\/p>\n
Thursday, June 4<\/p>\n

8pm: Super League (R13) \u2013 Leeds Rhinos v St Helens \u2013 Sky Sports+ Channel\/Action<\/p>\n
The action begins on Thursday with one game apiece from both the NRL and Super League.<\/p>\n
In the morning, there\u2019s one of the four weekly Sky picks as the Sea Eagles take on the Rabbitohs before a mouthwatering clash in Super League as the two most successful teams in the competition\u2019s history, Leeds Rhinos and St Helens, lock horns at Headingley. That\u2019s one of the main games on Sky this weekend.<\/p>\n
Friday, June 5<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no Sky games in the NRL on Friday \u2013 they\u2019re reserved for later in the weekend. Which means the three offerings from Super League on Friday are the only action of the day on TV.<\/p>\n
They all kick off at the same time and are all on the red button selection.<\/p>\n
Saturday, June 6<\/p>\n
8:30am: NRL \u2013 North Queensland Cowboys v Dolphins \u2013 Sky Sports Action<\/p>\n
10:35am: NRL \u2013 Brisbane Broncos v Gold Coast Titans \u2013 Sky Sports Action<\/p>\n

4:30pm: Super League (R13) \u2013 Wakefield Trinity v Hull KR \u2013 BBC Two\/Sky Sports+ Red Button<\/p>\n
6:30pm: Super League (R13) \u2013 Catalans Dragons v Wigan Warriors \u2013 Sky Sports+ Channel<\/p>\n
Saturday is the biggest day of the weekend for a number of reasons \u2013 not least because it\u2019s the busiest day of TV action with a whopping five games to pick from.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a double-header on Saturday morning from the NRL before things really get interesting later in the day from Super League.<\/p>\n
You have three games \u2013 almost without any interruptions and clashes. The latter stages of Huddersfield versus Toulouse cross over with the start of the BBC game between Wakefield and Hull KR.<\/p>\n
But that game finishes just in time for the big game in Paris between Catalans and Wigan! That is the other two Sky Sports main game pick for the weekend, with an hour of build-up from 5:30pm.<\/p>\n
\u200bMonday, June 8<\/p>\n
7:05am: NRL \u2013 Canterbury Bulldogs v Parramatta Eels \u2013 Sky Sports Main Event\/Action<\/p>\n
A rare Monday game to finish the weekend off in the NRL! Australia observes the King\u2019s Birthday holiday in Sydney on the second Monday in June which means it\u2019s a public holiday. And that means there\u2019s NRL to watch too, as the Bulldogs and the Eels round the weekend off on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a full programme of Super League and the NRL this weekend after a break for the Challenge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-714225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
