Channel 4 head of sport Pete Andrews said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing Super League to free-to-air television for the first time in its history.
“It’s fantastic news for rugby fans and it’s a really special addition to Channel 4’s sports portfolio particularly since it’s one of our first major partnerships since moving to our new National HQ building at the Majestic in Leeds.”
It comes on the back of a decline in Sky revenue which in turn would reduce teams income that prompted a search for an additional deal.
There won’t be highlights shown on Channel 4. However, who knows how far this budding sporting partnership could go.
Fans have taken to Twitter to show their support for the decision
“Potentially a game changer for Rugby League not just Super League.On the back of this there is RLWC2021 with BBC coverageThe Next 12 months could help shape a bright future for Rugby League and the next decade, don’t underestimate importance of keeping Sky involved”
