Notes
edit- ^ Ahead of 2024, Sky Sports announced they would be broadcasting all Super League matches over the next three seasons.[4]
Exact TV channels can be sourced by using WayBack Machine on RugbyLeagueOnTV.
NB Not all games were broadcast on Sky Sports TV (advertised as "Sky Sports Exclusives"), with the remainder being broadcast using their on demand services accessible online or via red button. These games were made available on Super League+, and a select few on the BBC.[5] Further, games on Main Event were also broadcast on Action or Arena. - ^ Following this fixture, head coach Tony Smith and assistant coach Stanley Gene were sacked and replaced by interim coach Simon Grix and assistant Francis Cummins.[12]
- ^ Brisbane Tigers player Treigh Stewart was also set to join Hull F.C. at the same time, however the club pulled out from signing Stewart on 11 June following allegations of an incident of domestic violence.[46]
