Sky will also provide live coverage of the following afternoon’s showdown between the current top two on the table when Leigh Leopards, who are second, host Catalans Dragons.

That will be Leigh’s first home match for more than a month and will give both clubs the chance to reflect on the progress made since they met at the same venue in the sudden-death Million Pound Match in September, 2017 , when Catalans’ 26-10 victory condemned Leigh to relegation.

Sky Sports selections for July/August are (kick-off 8pm unless stated otherwise): Thursday, July 13 – St Helens v Catalans Dragons; Friday, July 14 – Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves; Thursday, 27 – Huddersfield Giants v Hull FC; Friday, July 28 – St Helens v Leeds Rhinos; Friday August 4 - Warrington Wolves v Catalans Dragons; Sunday August 6 - Leeds Rhinos v Leigh Leopards (3pm); Friday, August 18 – Wakefield Trinity v Castleford Tigers; Saturday, August 19 – Leigh Leopards v Catalans Dragons (3pm); Saturday, August 26 - Catalans Dragons v Wigan Warriors.
