Rugby Super League Map

Snapshot of the Rugby Super League

There are 12 teams in the Betfred Super League; 11 of which are in Northern England, and 1 (the Catalans Dragons) in Southern France. The Wigan Warriors are the most successful team, with 24 titles, eight more than the second-most-sucessful team ,St. Helens. The champion is decided with a playoff competition between the top 6 teams.

From the 2024 season, the administration of the Super League changed quite dramatically. There is no longer an automatic promotion/relegation with the Rugby Championship. Instead, a grading system is used to rank the top 12 teams who will form the next season's Super League. Teams are graded on five factors; Fandom (incl. attendance) performance, stadium, finance and community.
