Rugby league on TV: How to watch all 11 games this weekend including Challenge Cup

It’s another big weekend of rugby league on both sides of the world – with the NRL and the Challenge Cup taking the focus.

And fortunately, there is plenty of action live on TV, with a variety of ways to watch.

This weekend, there’s 11 offerings for you on a number of platforms – including Super League+ exclusively showing one of the four Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

Here’s what you’ve got to watch this week!
