All four Challenge Cup second round ties will be streamed live and free this weekend.

The first round of the Cup was played at the weekend, with the second round ties being played between March 27-28. All four ties will be streamed live and free.

The BBC will show Swinton v Oldham (12:30pm) on Sunday, followed by London Broncos v York (2:30pm). The matches will again be broadcast live on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and BBC Sport digital platforms.

The other two ties – Featherstone v Batley (Saturday, 12:45pm) and Widnes v Whitehaven (Sunday, 5pm) – will be streamed on The Sportsman’s website, YouTube and Facebook.
