My understanding is Sky will televise every game of the first 15 weeks, after that they will go on a subscription service (whether they are showing the first 15 games to deter people switching from Sky to RFL service, or just because they haven't got it ready yet I don't know.).

As Sky have exclusivity on 2 games a week I assume they will not be available live via the RFL (but maybe with a 2/3 day delay?)

All I know is when it does go onto the streaming service if you already subscribe to Sky Sports you do not have to pay extra.

Okay, so my English is obviously not up to scratch these days, as I still don't fully understand what that article is trying to say...

I pay £19.99 a month for the streaming service, then must pay £6.99 per game on top for 'selected' games? What is included in the £19.99 then? Just highlights, or does it include live coverage of all the games that are not classed as 'specially selected'. And how do they decide which games are under the premium pay-per view banner? Knowing our luck it will be mostly Warrington games.

I really don't mind the £20 a month if it's for access to full game replays and most live matches, but if you need to pay £20 first then x amount of £7 payments for a few live games, you're better off with Sky.

Maybe when the service is up and running it will be more clear.

The selected games option is for those fans who don`t want the entire Super League rounds blanket coverage and just want to watch a particular game i.e They don`t pay the £19.99p monthly payment but pay £6.99p for the games they choose to view.

Re: Sky Coverage : Tue Jan 23, 2024 3:59 pm  

looks like international subscribers will get all games live and not just the non sky games. I wonder if we can use a VPN to get around that?

When I was reading various posts I’m sure I read sky sports subscribers got it included. After looking at the app and website etc I have no idea if it’s right or do I have to put some sort of code in. I know it’s not till after round 15 but would like to know. I pay enough for Sky I’m not paying for a streaming service aswell.

If you don’t have Sky it might be a better and cheaper option to subscribe to Warrington TV for the season and watch them a couple of days later.

Not so sure about this now. In the early weeks all games are being shown on TV & via Superleague+ ... but it looks like later in the season only a couple of games are on TV with the rest on Superleague+. It looks to me like Sky TV Subscribers will have to purchase Superleague+ in addition to their Sky TV subscription to see all games. I'd be glad to be told I've got it wrong.

Yes, that`s the way I see it too.

The 1st 15 games will all be shown on TV, and after that fans wanting to watch all the games, or individual games of their choice, will have to subscribe to Superleague+

I rarely watch a televised game live, but record it and watch it later.

The steamed games are no use to me, if I can`t watch them at a later time, but I had no intention of giving SKY any further money anyway.
