Bulls' fans will be able to watch the club's away match in Toronto this season live on Sky after a number of broadcast deals were announced at the official Betfred Championship and League One launch today.

The Rugby Football League have announced that this year there will be more broadcast coverage of the Betfred Championship and League One in the UK and around the world than ever before.

Sky Sports will broadcast games from the Championship play-offs at the end of the season, culminating with the £1Million Game final that determines promotion to Super League.

Toronto Wolfpack - who Bulls visit on Saturday, May 4 - have also secured a deal to screen live all their home and away games on Sky Sports platforms in the UK, with distribution deals around the world to be confirmed over the next few weeks.

In addition, the RFL have secured agreement from Sky Sports to show live matches from the Betfred Championship and League One through their 'Our League' membership platforms in 2019.

The additional coverage was announced at today’s RFL season launch in York – where the Wolfpack begin their Championship campaign against the newly-promoted City Knights at Bootham Crescent on February 3.

The first live Our League match will be the Betfred League One opener between Newcastle Thunder and Doncaster at Kingston Park Stadium on Saturday February 16 – which is the first part of a double header, followed by the Toronto-Widnes Betfred Championship fixture that will now be shown live on Sky Sports.

With the Our League platforms also showing matches from the Coral Challenge Cup, the Coral Women’s Challenge Cup, the 1895 Cup and the Women’s Super League, that means at least one live match per week will be available for Our League members.

“This is fantastic news for all the fans and clubs of the Betfred Championship and League One with both competitions being broadcast more than ever before,” said Mark Foster, who heads the RFL’s commercial department.

“It couldn’t have happened without the co-operation and support of Sky Sports and the Toronto Wolfpack and we wish to thank both organisations for helping us to tell the story to millions in the UK and around the world of what will be a fantastic 2019 season for the Betfred Championship and League One in 2019.

“We saw with the reaction to Sky Sports' live coverage of the £1M Game between the Wolfpack and London Broncos in Toronto last autumn what a massive boost that was to the profile of the Betfred Championship.

“So we are delighted that Sky Sports are committed to showing this year’s £1M Game, to determine who earns promotion to the Betfred Super League in 2020."
