Rugby league viewers get a full weekend schedule this week, and it starts with Leeds Rhinos against St Helens at 8pm on Thursday in Super League Round 13. The game will be shown on Sky Sports+ Channel/Action, and it opens a run of live fixtures that stretches through Friday and Saturday after last week’s break for the Challenge Cup.
That is why Tanya Arnold and the Two slot matter in the middle of a crowded programme: Wakefield Trinity against Hull KR at 4:30pm on Saturday is one of the matches available free-to-air, but it is only one fixture among many across Sky Sports and the red button selections. For anyone searching rugby league on tv, the scale is the point. Bradford Bulls meet York Knights, Castleford Tigers face Leigh Leopards and Warrington Wolves take on Hull FC, all at 8pm on Friday and all on Sky Sports+ Red Button.
The Saturday programme keeps moving fast. North Queensland Cowboys play Dolphins at 8:30am on Sky Sports Action, Brisbane Broncos meet Gold Coast Titans at 10:35am on the same channel, Huddersfield Giants face Toulouse at 3pm on Sky Sports+ Red Button, then Catalans Dragons host Wigan Warriors at 6:30pm on Sky Sports+ Channel. The weekend also includes an historic game in Paris, adding another layer to a schedule that reaches well beyond one headline match.
That breadth also creates the one question fans will still be asking: which fixture is the Paris game? The listings make clear there is no shortage of choices, with Sky carrying most of the programme and the offering just one free-to-air Super League window. Tanya Arnold’s 2025 appearance gives that slot an extra profile, but the real story is a schedule packed from Thursday morning through Saturday evening.
