WATCH 2022 RUGBY GAME LIVE
The Rugby League World Cup is just over a week away and all 61 matches across the men’s, women’s and wheelchair competitions will be shown on free-to-air TV. The TV schedule has been finalised and each game, from the opener on Saturday 15 October to the men’s final on Saturday 19 November, will be broadcast across the BBC and BBC iPlayer
For the first time in the history of the Rugby League World Cup, all three competitions will run in parallel. The men kick off the action before the women and wheelchair stars compete following the conclusion of the men’s pool stage in early November.
The men’s champions will be crowned live on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer, with the showpiece finale getting underway at 4pm on Saturday 19 November. By then, fans will know the victors in the women’s competition, the final of which will be broadcast on the same channels with kick-off at 1.15pm. And the wheelchair edition concludes the night before live on BBC Two and the BBC iPlayer, commencing at 7.30pm.
