With one month to go until the start of the 2021 Betfred Super League season, the full fixture schedule can be confirmed.
Several key rounds in the season have already been announced, including Rivals Round (19-22 August), and Dacia Magic Weekend (4-5 September) but now fans can start looking forward to seeing how their team’s season will unfold.
Sky Sports will broadcast all twelve games from the first two rounds which will also be available for season ticket holders via the Our League platform, in a continuation of the service offered last season.
Highlights in Round 1, which will take place behind closed doors at Emerald Headingley Stadium, see new Salford Coach Richard Marshall face his old team, St Helens, in his first game as well as Leigh Centurions’ return to the top-flight where they face local rivals, Wigan Warriors.
Following the most recent update from the government on the roadmap out of Covid-19 restrictions, clubs are planning for the return of fans to stadiums, for the first time since March 2020, in time for Round 7 fixtures (20-23 May).
With the re-scheduled Dacia Magic Weekend being played at the business end of the season (Round 23, 4-5 September) it could all be to play for in Newcastle, with the final push for play-off spots, League Leaders Shield or last ditch pushes to avoid relegation.
The culmination of every season is the Betfred Super League Grand Final and in 2021 this showpiece event will be returning to its spiritual home, Old Trafford, on Saturday 9 October.
