Super League (also known as the Betfred Super League for sponsorship reasons, and legally Super League Europe Ltd.)[1][2] is a professional rugby league competition, and the highest level of the British rugby league system, which consists of twelve teams, eleven from Northern England, the sport's heartland, and one from southern France.
Super League began in 1996, replacing the First Division, and switching from a winter to a summer season.
The regular season runs from February to September, with each team playing 27 games; 11 home games, 11 away games, Magic Weekend, and an additional four fixtures decided by league positions. The top six then enter play-offs leading to the Super League Grand Final which determines the champions. As of 2024, there is no relegation to the Championship.
The Super League champions take on the champions of the Australian National Rugby League in the World Club Challenge.
Twenty-four clubs have competed since the inception of the Super League since 1996: nineteen from England, three from France, one from Wales and one from Canada. Four of them have won the title: St Helens (10), Leeds Rhinos (8), Wigan Warriors (7) and Bradford Bulls (4).
