Championship Rounds 2-4 schedule confirmed

The Championship have announced the schedule for round two through to round four, with 20 matches to be streamed live on OuRLeague.

The competition is due to get back underway in April, over a year since the last games were played. Round One will take place over Easter Weekend, with the schedule for that already confirmed.

Round Two will include an early clash between promotion rivals, as Toulouse take on London Broncos in the South of France. There is also a West Yorkshire derby as Bradford Bulls take on Halifax Panthers.

Meanwhile, Round Three includes a landlords/tenants match up, as Bradford Bulls take on Dewsbury Rams, with Bradford as the “home” side.

Finally, Round Four plays host to several interesting clashes. Oldham take on Halifax Panthers, Newcastle Thunder take on Batley Bulldogs and Widnes Vikings take on Swinton Lions.

Streaming passes will go on sale in the next couple of weeks, after the initial block of pre-season matches and the First Round of the Challenge Cup.

Day and weekend passes will again be made available at £15 and £20, and with the same Earlybird offer of £4-95 for each game.

All profit from these PPV games goes to the participating clubs – allowing them to make up crucial lost income from having to play matches behind closed doors in the early stages of the 2021 season.
