There are a whopping 17 live rugby league games from all across the world to tune into this weekend – a feast of the greatest game, we’d argue!

From the opening weekend of the Women’s Super League in the UK, to a huge Origin match Down Under – and the regular NRL and Super League fare – there’s plenty to go at.

Here’s how you can get your fix this weekend and watch it all!
