All rugby league on TV this week across Super League and NRL
Thursday 20th March
The first NRL match-up is a rematch of the 2024 Grand Final between Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers. The Storm currently sit at the top of the table with Penrith having a slow start to the season sitting in 10th position.
Thursday’s Super League offering is a bottom-of-the-table clash between Salford Red Devils and Huddersfield Giants.
Salford look set to still be operating on a £1.2 million salary cap but will be taking the positives from their 26-16 Challenge Cup victory over Bradford Bulls last Friday.
Huddersfield now only have Super League to concentrate on after their 22-12 loss to Wakefield on Sunday afternoon.
Friday 21st March
There are two live NRL and Super League games showing on Friday.
Two teams who will be hoping to claim higher than their current respective 11th and 13th positions are New Zealand Warriors and Sydney Roosters.
Both sides lost in round one but secured victories last time out, with the Warriors beating Manly Sea Eagles 36-16 and Sydney claiming a 38-32 victory over reigning champions Penrith Panthers.
In the other NRL fixture, North Queensland Cowboys will be hoping to get their first points of the 2025 season as they travel to Brisbane Broncos.
The Broncos were a pre-season favourite to challenge for the title but suffered a 32-22 loss to Canberra Raiders last weekend.
In Super League, St Helens will face Warrington Wolves, with the game live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action.
Whilst both sides made it to the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup last week, their last Super League games ended in defeat.
The other Super League game features Wakefield Trinity and Hull FC.
Both teams have two wins to their name but Hull FC’s draw against Leigh sees them sit two positions ahead of Wakefield in 5th with one point more.
Saturday 22nd March
You can watch three NRL games on Sunday morning from 4am to around 10.30am.
First up is Cronulla Sharks v South Sydney Rabbitohs, with the Rabbitohs looking for their third win on the bounce.
After that is Dolphins v Wests Tigers before Gold Coast Titans host Newcastle Knights, the latter being live on Sky Sports Action as well as Watch NRL.
There are two helpings of Super League also on Friday starting with Castleford Tigers v Catalans Dragons at 3pm.
It’s 10th v 9th in the table as both sides have just the one win to their name in 2025 so far, with Catalans arguably being the most disappointing team this year.
The final match of Saturday is Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors.
With both sides being knocked out of the Challenge Cup last week, they will want to make sure they make it all the way to Old Trafford now.
Sunday 23rd March
There are two NRL games on Sunday morning, starting with Parramatta Eels v Canterbury Bulldogs at 5.05am.
Parramatta sit at the foot of the NRL table after a dismal start to 2025 but 3rd-placed Canterbury have started the season of strongly.
The final NRL game of the weekend is Manly Sea Eagles v Canberra Raiders, with Canberra hoping to go three from three.
Fnishing off the weekend of rugby league on TV is a top-of-the-table clash between Hull KR and Leigh Leopards, live on Sky Sports+ and Super League+.
Both sides head into the game unbeaten, with Hull KR on four wins from four and Leigh sitting on 7 points after their draw with Hull FC.
