The 2025 Super League semi-final live streams sees a David vs Goliath encounter on Friday followed by an evenly set matchup on Saturday. Below we have information on how to watch the rugby league from anywhere in the world, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and what free live streams are available.
First up sees a rematch of last year's semi, as reigning champions Wigan Warriors face the plucky Leigh Leopards. Wigan may be one of the sport's most successful sides, but the Leopards have managed to defeat them twice this season already – including that remarkable first day when it took a Golden Point to separate the sides after a 0-0 tie in regular time. However, the talk before the game has been all about whether Leigh will turn up after a dispute with Wigan over ticket allocations. Yet, it appears the Leopards will turn up with owner Derek Beaumont stating they're "preparing as normal" for the game.
It's been over 40 years of hurt for Hull Kingston Rovers, but last year's losing finalists topped this year's Super League table and will hope the likes of Mikey Lewis and Tom Davies have enough in the tank to defeat a St Helens team that won four titles on the trot between 2019 and 2022.
