Rugby league on TV: How to watch all 15 games live this weekend
There is SO much rugby league to watch over Easter!
We’re firmly back into the swing of things now where rugby league’s concerned, with Round 5 of the Super League season coming up as well as Round 3 of the NRL campaign Down Under.
For those who want to spend their weekend glued to the TV, you’re in luck: there are FIFTEEN games available to watch or stream over the coming weekend!
There’s a genuine feast of rugby league from both sides of the globe to get stuck into over the next few days, so here’s a look at all of the broadcast information you’ll need between now and Sunday…

9am: NRL (R3) – Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers – Sky Sports Action/Watch NRL
8pm: Super League (R5) – Salford Red Devils v Huddersfield Giants – Sky Sports+ Red Button/Super League+
You’re eased into it with two games today, one this morning from the NRL and the other tonight in Super League. Storm and the Panthers face off Down Under at 9am, before Salford take on Huddersfield come 8pm in a meeting between Super League‘s two only winless clubs to date in 2025. Something has to change there, or does it?!

Four games for you on Friday split evenly between both sides of the globe. The pick of the action here comes on Merseyside, with Saints welcoming Warrington to the Totally Wicked Stadium. Sky’s build-up to that game begins half-an-hour prior to kick-off, at 7.30pm.

You’re going to be very tired if you watch all six games available across 18 hours or so on your screens on Saturday, but don’t let us stop you! NSW Cup action is followed by three mouthwatering NRL clashes, and then Super League returns come 3pm. That tea-time clash between Leeds and Wigan is Sky’s other main Super League pick this week, with coverage beginning at 5pm.
Sunday, March 23
5.05am: NRL (R3) – Parramatta Eels v Canterbury Bulldogs – Watch NRL
7.15am: NRL (R3) – Manly Sea Eagles v Canberra Raiders – Watch NRL
3pm: Super League (R5) – Hull KR v Leigh Leopards – Sky Sports+ Red Button/Super League+
The weekend’s action is completed with three games on Sunday, though none are ‘main picks’ from the usual broadcasters. Two NRL clashes kick things off before a meeting of Super League’s pre-round top two in the shape of Hull KR and Leigh at Craven Park. Notably, if you don’t have Sky but want to watch that game, you can do completely free of charge on Super League+.
