The opening two rounds of fixtures for the 2025 Betfred Super League season - plus Rivals Round - have been revealed.
Ahead of the release of the full-season fixture list at 8am on Thursday, Super League has given a first glimpse of how the new campaign will open up, with each of the 12 teams' first home games across the opening two rounds confirmed.
Sky Sports will again show every game live, including two matches in each round exclusively live, with the remaining four matches each week shown on Sky Sports+.

Defending champions Wigan Warriors will open the season against Leigh Leopards, live on Sky Sports on Thursday February 13.
The first Friday night match on February 14 will feature Hull KR, who lost to Wigan in this year's Grand Final, against Castleford Tigers - a match that will see the latter's new head coach Danny McGuire's first game in charge up against his former club.
Rivals Round, round eight, takes place over the Easter weekend from April 17-19.

Wigan have won the past two Super League titles, claiming the 2024 crown with a 9-2 victory over Grand Final debutants Hull KR in October's showpiece season finale.
The 2025 campaign sees Wakefield Trinity return to the top level, replacing the London Broncos, under the new IMG grading system. Wakefield's first home match back in the top flight is against Hull KR on February 20 and exclusively live in round two on Sky Sports.
The 11 other clubs in the Betfred Super League remain the same, with Wigan Warriors, St Helens, Warrington Wolves, Leeds Rhinos, Hull FC, Hull KR, Salford Red Devils, Castleford Tigers, Leigh Leopards, Huddersfield Giants and Catalans Dragons making up the competition.
The teams in Super League will not be determined by promotion or relegation from 2025 onwards. Instead, the 12 teams will be those who achieve the most points across a range of criteria, including fandom, on-field performance, finance, stadium and community.
Wakefield thumped Toulouse 36-0 to win the Championship Grand Final to complete the treble, meaning they would have also gained promotion under the old system as well as the new gradings.
Super League confirmed on Monday that its Magic Weekend will be returning to Newcastle's St James' Park in 2025, with the date shifted from August back to the first May Bank Holiday.
Sky Sports+ has officially launched and will be integrated into Sky TV, streaming service NOW and the Sky Sports app, giving Sky Sports customers access to over 50 per cent more live sport this year at no extra cost. Find out more here.
