We\u2019re set for another busy weekend of rugby league action on both sides of the globe, with Round 22 taking place in Super League and Round 24 in the NRL.<\/p>\n
For those who want to spend their weekend glued to the TV, you\u2019re in luck: there are a whopping 20 games available to watch or stream over the coming weekend!<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a real feast of rugby league to get stuck into over the next few days, so here\u2019s a look at all of the broadcast information you\u2019ll need between now and Sunday\u2026<\/p>\n
*Please note: All times stated are kick-off times and are stated in BST (British Summer Time)<\/p>\n
Thursday, August 14<\/p>\n
10.50am: NRL (R24) \u2013 Penrith Panthers v Melbourne Storm \u2013 Sky Sports Action\/Watch NRL<\/p>\n
8pm: Super League (R22) \u2013 Warrington Wolves v Catalans Dragons \u2013 Sky Sports+ Red Button\/Super League+<\/p>\n
A game apiece from the NRL and Super League have been scheduled in to whet your appetite for the weekend ahead on Thursday, with a rematch of last year\u2019s Grand Final kicking things off Down Under as Penrith host the Storm.<\/p>\n
Super League\u2019s weekend begins on Thursday night at the Halliwell Jones Stadium with a meeting of two out of form teams in Warrington and Catalans.<\/p>\n
Friday, August 15<\/p>\n
9am: NRL (R24) \u2013 New Zealand Warriors v St George Illawarra Dragons \u2013 Watch NRL<\/p>\n
11am: NRL (R24) \u2013 Sydney Roosters v Canterbury Bulldogs \u2013 Sky Sports Action\/Watch NRL<\/p>\n
8pm: Super League (R22) \u2013 Wigan Warriors v Hull KR \u2013 Sky Sports+ Main Channel\/Sky Sports Action<\/p>\n
Unusually, there are just three games on Saturday, but that\u2019s partly because of Super League\u2019s one game that evening being a BIG one. Before we get there, the Warriors welcome St George and the Roosters take on the Bulldogs in the NRL.<\/p>\n
Come Friday night, all eyes will be on The Brick Community Stadium for a rematch of last year\u2019s Super League Grand Final. Matt Peet\u2019s Wigan side came out on top last October at Old Trafford, but if they lose to table-toppers Hull KR on home soil here, they\u2019ll more than likely wave goodbye to the League Leaders\u2019 Shield. This promises to be a sumptuous clash.<\/p>\n
Saturday, August 16<\/p>\n
3.45am: NRLW (R7) \u2013 Cronulla Sharks v Gold Coast Titans \u2013 Sky Sports Mix\/Watch NRL<\/p>\n

3pm: Super League (R22) \u2013 Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos \u2013 Sky Sports+ Red Button\/Super League+<\/p>\n
5.30pm: Super League (R22) \u2013 Hull FC v Leigh Leopards \u2013 Sky Sports+ Main Channel<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no need to panic about a lack of rugby league action because Saturday brings you no fewer than EIGHT, including numerous games Down Under in both the NRL and NRLW, kickstarted with a double-header between the women\u2019s and men\u2019s sides of the Sharks and the Titans.<\/p>\n
There are two Super League games for you to get your teeth stuck into, starting with an afternoon showdown between West Yorkshire foes Cas and Leeds at The Jungle (no, we won\u2019t stop calling it that!). Leigh then make the trip to Hull FC at 5.30pm, and that\u2019s a main game, so it comes with pre-match build-up, pundits, and all the showbiz.<\/p>\n
Sunday, August 17<\/p>\n
2.50am: NRLW (R7) \u2013 Wests Tigers v St George Illawarra Dragons \u2013 Sky Sports Mix\/Watch NRL<\/p>\n
4.45am: NRLW (R7) \u2013 Sydney Roosters v Newcastle Knights \u2013 Sky Sports Mix\/Watch NRL\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

7.05am: NRL (R24) \u2013 North Queensland Cowboys v Newcastle Knights \u2013 Watch NRL<\/p>\n
9.15am: NRLW (R7) \u2013 North Queensland Cowboys v Canterbury Bulldogs \u2013 Sky Sports Mix\/Watch NRL\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
2.30pm: Super League (R22) \u2013 St Helens v Huddersfield Giants \u2013 BBC Two\/Sky Sports+ Red Button\/Super League+<\/p>\n
3pm: Super League (R22) \u2013 Salford Red Devils v Wakefield Trinity \u2013 Sky Sports+ Red Button\/Super League+<\/p>\n
Five of Sunday\u2019s seven games all come before midday from Down Under, with action aplenty in both the NRL and NRLW.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s Super League you\u2019re after, you\u2019ll have a choice of two games. But because of the scheduling, you will have to make that choice. First up at 2.30pm, Saints welcome Huddersfield in a clash being shown live on BBC Two. Half-an-hour later, providing all goes as planned, financially-stricken Salford will then kick off at home against Wakefield. That one is behind Sky\u2019s red button.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re set for another busy weekend of rugby league action on both sides of the globe, with Round…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-66204","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
