Two Leeds Rhinos fixtures have been given new dates at the request of Sky Sports.

Rhinos’ trip to Warrington Wolves in Betfred Super League round 17 will now be played on Thursday, July 11 (8pm). Rhinos’ round 19 visit to Huddersfield Giants has been rescheduled for two weeks later, on Thursday, July 25. Both matches will be played 24 hours earlier than originally announced.

Sky are broadcasting every Super League game this season, but the changes come after the two Leeds matches were chosen for exclusive live coverage. Sky has exclusive live rights to two fixtures each weekend, with the other four featuring as they happen on the competition’s streaming service SuperLeague+. Up to 15 games are also being shown live on various BBC channels.
