Giants to face Saints at Headingley in Challenge Cup

Huddersfield Giants will face St Helens in the Quarter Final of the Challenge Cup on Friday 7th May at 8:15pm at Headingley Stadium LIVE on Sky Sports, the RFL has confirmed. Before then, Catalans Dragons take on Warrington Wolves in a 6pm kick off, also on Sky Sports.

Elsewhere, coverage switches to BBC on Saturday 8 May, with BBC1 showing Hull FC versus Wigan Warriors at 2.30pm, and Castleford Tigers and Salford Red Devils going head-to-head live on BBC2 at 5pm.

RFL Chief Commercial Officer, Mark Foster, says: “We’re delighted to be able to confirm that all four Quarter Final games will be broadcast live, and our thanks go to our broadcast and commercial partners for their continued support of Rugby League. The broadcasters have been extremely helpful in ensuring that all these games are televised and on successive days.

“Like last year, all Quarter Final matches are being played at a neutral venue, based on availability and suitability. In this case, Emerald Headingley Stadium offers a perfect venue for what promises to be an exciting round of matches. The two Round Three games shown by BBC last weekend drew the highest viewing figures for this particular round for four years, so we’ll be looking to maintain this momentum throughout this year’s competition.”
