2024 Season

Super League XXIX, known as the 2024 Betfred Super League for sponsorship reasons, will be the 29th season of the Super League and 130th season of rugby league in Great Britain.

Wigan Warriors will be the defending champions, having beaten Catalans Dragons in the Grand Final, to win their 6th Super League title.[1]

London Broncos were promoted from the championship, having beaten Toulouse Olympique in the Championship Grand Final.[2]

Structure changes

At the end of the 2023 season, IMG and the RFL released initial gradings, indicating which league clubs would likely be playing in from the 2025 system. This transition to the new gradings-based system means there will be no automatic relegation as a result of finishing 12th from 2024.

Another change for the 2024 season will be that all games from the 27 regular rounds will be broadcast. Sky Sports will televise 2 fixtures from each round, with the other 4 being shown on a new streaming service, details of which will be announced closer to the start of the season. The games televised by Sky Sports between round 1 and round 15 were confirmed prior to the start of the season.

Teams

The league comprises 12 teams. The regular season comprises 27 rounds. Wigan Warriors are the defending champions after winning the 2023 Grand Final. Wakefield Trinity finished bottom in 2023 and were relegated to the Championship for 2024, they were replaced by promoted London Broncos who won the 2023 Championship Grand Final after finishing 5th in the table.

Fixtures and results

Matches decided by golden point

If a match ends in a draw after 80 minutes, then a further 10 minutes of golden point extra time is played, to determine a winner (five minutes each way). The first team to score either a try, penalty goal or drop goal during this period, will win the match. However, if there are no further scores during the additional 10 minutes period, then the match will end in a draw.
