The RFL and Sky Sports have finalised details of TV coverage of next Saturday’s (25 September) Betfred Championship play-off eliminator matches.

While Toulouse Olympique and Featherstone Rovers enjoy a weekend off – their reward for finishing the regular season as League Leaders and runner-up respectively – Batley Bulldogs, Bradford Bulls, Halifax Panthers and Whitehaven will all compete for the right to progress to the play-off semi-finals.

Batley Bulldogs versus Bradford Bulls will kick off at 3.15pm, followed by Halifax Panthers versus Whitehaven at 5.30pm. Both games will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Mark Foster, the RFL’s Chief Commercial Officer, says: “Once again this weekend the Championship has delivered outstanding action and next weekend the Sky Sports cameras will be there to bring the drama of the play-offs to a nationwide audience.

“Congratulations to all the clubs who have made it this far – and good luck to the four sides involved next week. Elimination play-offs are not for the faint-hearted, but these two games will be unmissable.”
