It's been a bumpy journey, but we've made it to the Super League playoffs earlier than expected. The traditional five-team playoff format was switched to four teams, but now we've settled on six. The top two, Wigan and St Helens, have a bye to the semi-finals, where they'll each face one of the next four, who play each other in the elimination playoffs this week. Warrington Wolves vs Hull is the first of these, and you can follow our guide as we explain how to watch a Super League playoff live stream and watch all the rugby action online from anywhere.
Warrington Wolves vs Hull FC kicks off at 7.45pm GMT, which is 2.45pm ET / 11.45am PT. Full TV and streaming options are listed below, and by using a good VPN, you'll be able to watch your preferred Super League stream from anywhere in the world.
As the side that finished in third, Warrington have been handed the favourable draw, Hull having clinched the sixth and final playoff spot. However, as we all know form can go out of the window in the playoffs.
The sides last faced off in early September, with the Wolves running out worthy 37-12 winners thanks to a pair of tries from Jake Mamo, and further efforts from Mike Cooper, Matty Ashton, Leilani Latu and Blake Austin.
Steve Price has a strong squad at his disposal, but there are some key figures out of action, not least Tom Lineham and Cooper. That said, they were depleted by Covid the last time they faced Hull and that didn't hold them back.
The good news for the Airlie Birds is that they've got nothing to lose. They've already been written off by most rugby league watchers, but it just wouldn't be the playoffs without at least one shock.
You can watch all the action live, no matter where you are in the world, by following our Warrington vs Hull live stream guide below.
