The 2024 rugby league calendar is now locked in, including the dates of the Challenge Cup & 1895 Cup rounds plus the mid-season international slot as well as the usual Super League, Championship & League 1 fixtures.

The 29th instalment of Super League will kick off on Thursday, February 15, 2024 as Hull FC host rivals Hull KR at the MKM Stadium with an 8pm kick-off.
