Sky Sports have made their ‘exclusive’ picks for Round 23 of Super League action, with two games to be played over the weekend of August 23-24.

Leeds Rhinos will take on Catalans Dragons at AMT Headingley in the first ‘exclusive’ pick on Friday, August 23 (8pm), whilst Salford Red Devils will host Huddersfield Giants on Saturday, August 24 (2pm) in the second ‘exclusive’ pick.

As confirmed before the start of the campaign, every single Super League game is being shown live this season, with Super League+ showing up to four games per weekend, and Sky picking two ‘exclusive’ games each round.

Sky’s exclusive picks for Round 23 were locked in on Tuesday afternoon.

Super League’s full schedule for rounds 20, 21, 22 and 23

A full schedule for Rounds 20, 21, 22 and 23 as well as that re-arranged Round 2 clash between neighbours Wigan and Leigh, – as provided by Sky – is below.

Note that the games not ‘exclusive’ to Sky – be that via the main channels or Sky Sports+ – will still be shown live.

‘Exclusive’ games are solely the ones that get an extensive build-up on gameday, rather than just five minutes before kick-off.
