The Women’s Super League will have five fixtures live on Sky Sports, including the Grand Final and a derby between St Helens and Wigan Warriors.
St Helens will host reigning champions Wigan Warriors on Thursday, August 6, at 5:15pm in the first of three Super Four fixtures to be shown live.
The Warriors completed their first treble in the women’s game last October, coming from behind to beat Saints 16-12 at the Brick Community Stadium.
Upcoming Fixtures
Saints will return to Sky Sports on Friday, August 28, when they host York Valkyrie at 5:15pm, renewing a recent rivalry after Saints edged York 12-8 in last year’s play-off semi-final.
The final Super Four fixture selected for live coverage will see Leeds Rhinos host reigning champions Wigan Warriors at AMT Headingley on Saturday, September 5, at 5:15pm.
The 2026 season features a split-season format, with teams first facing each other once in a single round of fixtures, then splitting into the top four and bottom four for an extended play-off series.
Play-off Format
Following the regular season, the winners of the extended play-offs will be crowned League Leaders and secure a place in the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final on Sunday, September 27.
The teams finishing second and third will meet in the semi-final on Friday, September 18, for the remaining Grand Final place, with both matches shown live on Sky Sports.

It’s likely that the upcoming fixtures will have a significant impact on the final standings, given the competitive nature of the Women’s Super League. The split-season format allows for a more subtle competition, with teams having the opportunity to adapt and improve throughout the season.
The confirmed fixtures live on Sky Sports are:
- Thursday, August 6: St Helens v Wigan Warriors, 5:15pm
- Friday, August 28: St Helens v York Valkyrie, 5:15pm
- Saturday, September 5: Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors, 5:15pm
- Friday, September 18: Semi-final – home ground of second place finisher
- Sunday, September 27: Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final – home ground of League Leaders
Wigan Warriors remain the only unbeaten team in the competition in 2026, and their performance in the upcoming fixtures will be closely watched. Their ability to come from behind and win, as seen in their treble-winning campaign last October, makes them a formidable opponent.
