Broadcast details for Semi Final
Broadcast details have been confirmed for the Betfred Challenge Cup triple-header at Elland Road, Leeds, on Saturday 7th May – a feast of Rugby League entertainment including the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup Final, followed by the Semi Finals of the men’s competition.
The Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup Final and the men’s Semi Final between Huddersfield Giants and Hull HR will be shown live on BBC2 at midday and 5pm respectively. In between those games, BBC1 will show the clash between arch-rivals Wigan Warriors and St Helens live at 2:30pm.
Ticket details for the Derby tie between Wigan and Saints will be confirmed in due course.
Mark Foster, the RFL’s Chief Commercial Officer, says: “Elland Road is no stranger to Rugby League drama and all the ingredients are in place for another memorable occasion. Four men’s teams will be giving everything they have to become the first Rugby League sides to play at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while we could see a record crowd for a domestic women’s fixture. If last year’s triple-header – also broadcast by the BBC – is anything to go by, this is an occasion absolutely not to be missed. The atmosphere in the stadium will be electric and armchair viewers can enjoy more than seven hours of superb BBC coverage.”
