    The BBC has had a legacy of rugby league coverage on television, notably with the Challenge Cup in recent years

    Super League matches will be shown live on the BBC for the first time this year, following a three-year broadcast deal with Rugby League Commercial.

    The deal means 15 games per season will be shown across the BBC, 10 on network television and the rest across the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

    The agreement means the BBC will show league matches in addition to the regular Challenge Cup offering.

    Highlights will also be available the day after games on the BBC Sport site.

    Castleford Tigers' home game with champions Wigan Warriors will be the first to be shown on BBC Two from 17:00 GMT on Saturday, 17 February.

    The World Club Challenge between Wigan and their National Rugby League-winning counterparts Penrith will be shown on Saturday, 24 February, also scheduled to be on BBC Two.
