Super League Secures New International TV Deals for France and Pacific Islands in 2026 Expansion

Super League has confirmed two new international television agreements that will expand global coverage of the competition from 2026.

The deals will bring France and the Pacific Islands into the broadcast network, strengthening the sport’s international reach.

Existing partnerships already include Fox Sports in Australia and the United States, Rogers Media in Canada, Premier Sports Asia in South East Asia, Dubai TV, RushSports in the Caribbean, TV3 in Catalunya and Sportdigital across Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region).

From 2026, French coverage will be boosted through the La Depeche network, which will broadcast all Catalans Dragons and Toulouse Olympique matches. Meanwhile, NBC will deliver Super League action to viewers in New Zealand and across the Pacific Island nations.

Adam Treeby, Head of Broadcast at RL Commercial, said the expansion marks a significant milestone for the competition.

“It’s great to be able to offer live action from the Betfred Super League to more viewers in 2026 than ever before in the competition’s history,” he said.

“We’re pleased to add two new broadcast partners to our growing roster in 2026 with La Depeche and NBC both joining.

“The appetite for Super League is growing both domestically and internationally with viewers getting to experience events such as Hull KR taking on Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas later this month, Catalans Dragons hosting Wigan Warriors in Paris, a new venue for Magic Weekend at the impressive Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton, as well as all the action across the season as we head towards the Grand Final at Old Trafford on October 3.”
