FOX Sports will show the Betfred Challenge Cup Final on Saturday, June 8, across the U.S. on FOX Soccer Plus – as part of a new agreement covering the Betfred Super League.
Saturday’s Wembley showpiece fixture between Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors will kick off at 10:07 AM ET / 7:07 AM PT with the kick-off delayed by seven minutes as part of Rugby League’s tribute to Rob Burrow CBE. Coverage on FOX Soccer Plus will begin on a same-day delay at 9:00 PM ET.
Rhodri Jones, the Managing Director of RL Commercial, said: “We are delighted that the 2024 Betfred Challenge Cup Final, such an important fixture for Rugby League for a wide range of reasons, will be shown across the United States on FOX Soccer Plus.
“FOX Sports has taken Super League matches to the U.S. for a long period, meaning many American viewers became familiar with the special skills and personality of Rob Burrow during his playing career – so it’s fitting that they will be able to see our tributes to him this weekend.
“It’s already been a year of significant progress for Rugby League in the U.S. with the NRL’s successful promotion in Las Vegas, and it’s important for us that the stars of Betfred Super League will continue to shine on FOX Sports.”
