Super League have released the full schedule for this year’s play-offs – including which days Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos will likely be at home.
The top six has already been locked in long before Round 27, but the final line-up and order will be decided across the last round of fixtures.
Wigan Warriors are odds-on to win the League Leaders’ Shield as they play Catalans Dragons knowing victory will secure top spot – while Leeds Rhinos can only watch on and wait providing they beat Hull FC.
However, the Warriors already know when they will be playing their home game – with Super League confirming it will take place on Saturday September 26 at 5:30pm. The game will be live on Sky Sports and BBC Sport.
That means Leeds Rhinos’ home game will take place 24 hours earlier on Friday night, the 25th of September. That is a Sky Sports exclusive game.
Meanwhile, the scheduling for next weekend’s two eliminator ties have been confirmed.
Fourth will play fifth – at this stage, Wakefield Trinity v Leigh Leopards – with an 8pm kick-off next Friday night, the 18th of September.
Then third will play sixth – Warrington Wolves v Hull KR as it stands – with a 5:30pm kick-off on Saturday September 19. That will be shown on both BBC Sport and Sky Sports.
The lowest-ranked winner of the eliminator ties will head to the team that has finished first, with the highest-ranked playing the team who finishes second.
