Warrington Wolves v Catalans Dragons (20.00) - live on Sky Sports

Round 16 kicks off with the Wolves hosting the Dragons on home soil. Sam Burgess’ men will be keen to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to the Rhinos and keep tabs on top spot.

Wolves head coach Sam Burgess has named his 21-man squad. Toafofoa Sipley is ruled out with an ankle injury. Max Wood is recalled from his loan at Hull FC. Cai Taylor-Wray and Sam Stone remain sidelined through injury. 

Meanwhile, Benjamin Garcia, Lenny Marc and Josh Simm are back in the Dragons squad and replace Tommy Makinson, Clément Martin and Léo Darrélatour.

Friday 26 June

Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR (20.00) - live on Sky Sports

A tasty Vegas rematch awaits on Friday Night, as league leaders Leeds Rhinos entertain the champions Hull KR at AMT Headingley Stadium.

This will also be the Rhinos’ annual MND Awareness Game, as the rugby league community once again unites to support the fight against Motor Neurone Disease.

The fixture has become a significant date in the Rhinos calendar, raising vital funds for MND-related causes since 2020 and continuing the remarkable legacy of club legend Rob Burrow.

The sides last met at the Allegiant Stadium in Vegas, with Leeds running riot 58-6.

The Robins have since continued to surge up the Super League table, so a much closer contest is expected...

The only change to Leeds' 21-man squad sees Riley Lumb come in for Fergie McCormack. 

Both Joe Burgess and Sam Luckley are both missing for Hull KR through injury. Instead, Oliver Gildart comes back into the team and Cobie Wainhouse is also named in the extended squad.

But as discovered in 2026, the French side are no easy opponents, especially on home soil.

Bradford Bulls v St Helens (20.00) - live on Sky Sports+ and SuperLeague+
