The 2025 Super League fixtures are out – with 49 broadcast picks already locked and loaded by Sky Sports and the BBC.

As was the case in 2024, the 2025 campaign will every Super League game broadcast live by Sky, with the competition’s principal broadcaster selecting two main games each week, known as their ‘exclusive’ games.

All that means is that the two fixtures are broadcast live on the actual Sky Sports+ TV channel with a full production including pundits, pre-match build-up and post-match reactions.

The remaining four fixtures in each round will still be live, but will be behind the red button on Sky Sports+ with just five minutes of pre-match build-up and no pundits.

Sky have confirmed 41 of their ‘exclusive’ broadcast picks for the season in total at the time of writing (November 21, 2024), including all six Magic Weekend games in Round 10.

Elsewhere, the BBC will again be a secondary broadcast partner for Super League in 2025. They have locked in eight selections so far with most of their games to be shown on a Saturday evening with a 5.30pm kick-off.

And Thursday night Super League action will return in 2025, with 23 of the first 26 rounds having a Thursday game pencilled in – a change from recent years when it looked as though the time-slot was fading out.

Sky have confirmed their broadcast picks through to Round 15: as have the BBC. A total of 10 regular-season game will be shown on the Beeb, as well as a further five on the iPlayer.

And with Sky having confirmed their ‘exclusive’ picks from Rounds 1 to 15: which clubs will get most of the ‘exclusive’ coverage in the first half of the campaign? Well, here’s a ranking of every Super League club by how often they feature in Sky’s exclusive picks in the first 15 rounds of 2025…
